The Chakana has deep significance in Andean cosmology, representing the harmonious balance between forces such as night and day, planting and harvesting, and our connection to the land (pachamama), skies (pachakamak), and the four directions. Its powerful message endures today through use in ceremonies, woven into textiles, and incorporated into accessories.
