Enrique Maestas of Houston's Danza Aztec Tlaloc performs a traditional Aztec dance Wednesday afternoon at the LBJ Student Center Amphitheater.
Tlaloc (pronounced [ˈtɬaːlok]) was an important deity in Aztec religion, a god of rain, fertility, and water. He was both a beneficient god who gave life and sustenance, but he was also feared for his ability to send hail, thunder and lightning, and for being the lord of the powerful element of water. In Aztec iconography he is normally depicted with goggle eyes and fangs. He was associated with caves, springs and mountains.
