About Tlaloc

The goggle-eyed god of rain and water, giver of life-bringing storms and feared sender of floods and drought.

A famous story

Tlaloc ruled a green paradise where those who died by water or lightning were said to go. Farmers depended on his rains for their crops, so he was honoured constantly — generous when pleased, but able to send hail, drought or flood when angered.

Temple
