Tlaloc was often depicted with goggle-like eyes and fangs, symbolizing his powerful nature. People would pray to him for rain, especially during dry seasons. In Aztec mythology, Tlaloc lived in a paradise called Tlalocan, a lush place filled with flowers and rivers. This realm was thought to be a reward for those who died from water-related causes. Festivals were held in his honor, showcasing the importance of water in sustaining life.
