Axomamma is considered to be the Goddess of potatoes in Incan mythology. She is a neutral god whose whole responsibility is considered to be to help the Incan people with the cultivation of potatoes that had slowly begun to replace maize as the primary source of nutrition.

She came into prominence after the Inca learned how to cultivate potatoes on their own without having to rely on the wild potatoes that grew on the Andean mountains. It is also believed that the dead were buried with a potato to symbolise the blessings of Axomamma in the afterlife as well.

Not much is known about Axomamma but every family was known to have an oddly shaped potato at home which they worshipped. She is sometimes depicted as wearing the traditional Incan dress and holding a stalk of potatoes in each hand.

She is one of the daughters of Pachamama or Mama Pacha, the earth mother. Although she is credited as being the deity behind the potato, Pachamama accepts the sacrifices or offerings on her behalf.

Axomamma is known by different names based on the region where she is being worshipped. He has been known to have the following names Acsumama, Ajomama, Axomama, Potato Lady, Potato Mother.
