Worshiper at the ancient Qorikancha ("Golden Temple")

I believe the answer is:

inca

(Other definitions for inca that I've seen before include "Old person in race" , "Inhabitant of old Peru" , "An old Peruvian like Cain" , "Former emperor" , "Ruler of an old empire centred on Cuzco" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
