Tlaloc

Tlaloc is the ancient Aztec god of rain, water, and fertility. He played a vital role in agriculture and was believed to control storms and agriculture's growth cycles. Often depicted with goggle-like eyes and fangs, Tlaloc was associated with both nurturing rains and destructive floods. The Aztecs honored him with rituals and offerings to ensure sufficient rainfall for their crops. Temples, like the Templo Mayor in Tenochtitlan, were dedicated to Tlaloc, reflecting his significance in their cosmology and daily life. He represents the dual nature of water—essential for life but potentially dangerous.
