From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Like most Mesoamerican peoples, the Purépecha had polytheistic beliefs, worshipping a large array of deities, though some were conceived as more important than others. Chief among the former is Kurhikaweri, the god of the sun and patron of the Purépecha Empire.
