Trivia

• The Queen's Festival may be based on the Inti Raymi, the Inca new year at winter solstice held in honour of the god Inti. It is still observed at the town of Saksaywaman from 1944 onwards and in other parts of Peru, after being banned by the Spanish colonial authorities. Among the parts of the festival include actors dressed as the Inca emperor and empress.
