Rain God Chaac
Chichen Itza was a large pre-Columbian city, built by the Maya people of the Terminal Classic period. The archaeological site is located in Yucatan State of Mexico and used to be a major focal point in the Northern Maya Lowlands, approximately between 600–900 AD.
Chaac was the Maya god of rain, lightning, and storms. He is often represented holding jade axes and snakes that he uses to throw at the clouds to produce rain. His actions assured the growth of maize and other crops in general as well as maintaining the natural cycles of life. (ThoughtCo)
