Coquihani is a god of light recorded among the deities of the pre-Columbian Zapotec civilization of what is now Oaxaca, Mexico, listed alongside gods such as Cocijo, god of rain, and Cozobi, god of maize, both already recorded on this atlas. The surviving English-language record of Coquihani is a brief listing rather than a developed narrative, so this description states only what that record supports.
