Wayra Tata ("Father of Wind"), [1] also transliterated as Huayra-tata, was a god worshipped by the Puruhá Quechuas [1] and Aymaras of the Bolivian [2] and Peruvian [3] Andes prior to European colonization.
The god was represented as a human figure with two heads and serpents coiled around him from head to foot. [2] He was associated with hurricane winds and fertilizing rains, [2] and was believed to manifest in the form of wind, especially whirlwind. [1]
The 1968 Huayra Pronello Ford and the 2011 Pagani Huayra sports cars were named after the god.
