Tepantitla Mountain of Abundance mural, Within Mural 3 (fig. W2-0025), typically known as the “Paradise of Tlaloc”, where normal people in everyday clothes are going about their daily lives, playing games and picking flowers. Central to the scene is a mountain that pours with water filled with fish and vitality, which flows into the rivers and canals and irrigates the crops that are being sowed and reaped. But far from being a portrayal of paradise, the scene actually depicts the mountain being fed with humans. From the top of the mountain you can see a train of people falling inside, with their blood flowing down and transforming into the life giving waters. The scene includes people of three different colours: red, yellow and blue. These different colours presumably represent different classes or castes, but together they are all being churned into water regardless of their creed – although the red people appear to be faring worse, as two of them float upside down and headless within the bloody cascade.

テパンティトラ山 ムラル3の内側にある、日常の衣服の普通の人々が日常生活を過ごし、ゲームをしたり花を摘んだりする「トラロックのパラダイス」として知られている壁画。現場の中心は、魚がいっぱいの水と活力で注ぐ山で、川や運河に流れ込み、浸食され再耕作されている作物を灌漑している。しかし、楽園の描写とはほど遠いこの場面は、実際に人間が山に餌をやっているところを描いている。山頂から、血が流れ水が出る中、人々が転落する列車が見える。場面には、赤、黄色、青の3つの異なる色の人々がいる。これらの異なる色はおそらく異なる階級やカーストを表しているが、どちらも教義に関係なく水に溶け込んでいる。
