According to the legend, in the time of the Incas, when Sara-Chogllo, a warrior woman, was accompanying her husband Wiru to one of his battles, a bamboo arrow penetrated her heart. Their love was so deep, that Wiru kneeled in front of his wife, with his eyes filled with tears, bathing Sara's face and wounds. Suddenly, from her heart, a beautiful plant began taking shape. From it, strong and healthy teeth grew, like those of a woman's smile, then it grew beautiful golden hair and a green skirt wrapped it all up. When the fruit was ripe, Wiru named it Chogllo and put it near his heart, so that he could feel the heartbeats his wife had left as an offer to him as a show of her love. He then offered the fruit back to the Pachamama (Mother Earth), where it grew and multiplied, nourishing every child of the town, making the race stronger. 

Since then, the Capac Raymi is celebrated every December in Peru. It is a ritual in which the corn is sowed, as an offering to Pachamama. It is followed by Wiru's tears (winter's rain), which are then dried in May by the shinning sun. From it, Pachamama gives back the fruit, filling the people with immense love, just like the one it came from.
