Pukllay - time of fertility and abundance
Pukllay means to celebrate life happily as a game. The game is a reflection of the state of being: smiling, thanking and enjoying life in all of its manifestations: a flower blossoming, a river flowing, family, friendship, but mostly: fertility and abundance.
The Allpamama (mother earth) offers us fertility and abundance in all its splendor and the majestic beauty flush our eyes. We are all involved in this game, animals, plants and human beings. The exquisite adornments used to attract their lovers, take central importance now. In Pisac, at the rhythm of flutes and singings, youth galants (Maqt´as) start to express loudly their romance, and seek for the young maidens (P´asña). They start the path, dancing like imitating the course of rivers, while singing Pukllay songs.
