Cattle adorned with flowers, carnivals and irrigation channel cleaning festivities ritually represent the Aymara spirituality.
The decoration of cattle with flowers is a rite destined to increase livestock through the cult to Mallku or the Mountain Spirit: for he is the owner of every wild animal.
This ritual consists of the branding of new cattle and the decoration all livestock with multicolor woolen ornaments.
Carnival is a syncretic rite associated to Lent and the harvest, as well to land and livestock fertility, this expression is a fusion of indigenous and Hispanic rites.
The irrigation channel cleaning is a festivity dedicated to the water cult, anciently known as the Amaru Myth, Snake in Quechua or Katari in Aymara. The cleaning and clearing of irrigation canals takes place just before the new sowing cycle.
