This chapter is dedicated to discussing the various celebrations and festivals that would be held in the Inca Empire. This image depicts a festival being held in the Chinchaysuyo region of the Inca Empire. There are four women illustrated in the image performing a uaucu taqui [song and dance]. The woman in the centre of the image and the woman on the right side of the image are depicted wearing feathered head garbs and blowing into what appears to be a musical instrument of sorts. The two women on the left side of the image are depicted playing a hand drum. The caption at the bottom of the image reads “guanoc pampa paucar pampa” [celebrations].
