During the 15th and 16th century when the Aztecs lived in central Mexico, among their many gods Tlaloc was of great importance.  He was de Rain God in the Aztec mythology.

The Aztecs feared him as they believed he used his lightning bolts to sicken people and even as he had the power of giving life to plants, he also had the power of total destruction.

Tlaloc is said to have had 4 jugs of water.  The first one made plants grow; the second one caused destruction; the third brought frost and ice; and the fourth would bring destruction to everything and everyone.

Tlaloc, the Aztec  Rain God, is represented wearing a net of clouds, a crown of heron feathers and carrying rattles in order to make thunder.

There is a huge monolyth of  Tlaloc on display outside of the Museum of Archeology and History in Mexico City.  If you are ever in Mexico City do not leave without visiting  Tlaloc the Aztec God of Rain.
