Ilê Axé Yjinoilu Orossi

Ilê Axé Yjinoilu Orossi, Candomblé religious center in Cidade Nova, Salvador, Brazil.

Ilê Axé Ijino Ilu Oróssi is a candomblé terreiro in the Cidade Nova neighbourhood of Salvador, Bahia, founded in 1981 and registered with the Federação do Culto Afro-Brasileiro de Salvador on 16 May 1984. It is led by babalorixá Pai Antonio de Obaluaiê (José Antonio de Almeida, Baba Lokanfu.Toluaye), initiated on 3 January 1976 in the Queto nation.

The terreiro was established in 1981 by Pai Antonio de Obaluaiê and received official registration from the Afro-Brazilian Federation of Salvador in May 1984. This recognition helped legitimize the religious practices at this location within the region.

The terreiro belongs to the Queto nation, the Candomblé tradition in which its leader Pai Antonio de Obaluaiê was initiated on 3 January 1976. He heads the house as babalorixá, and its ceremonies honour Obaluaiê and the other Orixás. The name Ilê Axé Ijino Ilu Oróssi is Yoruba-derived, as are the ritual terms used in the house.

The terreiro sits in Cidade Nova, Salvador, and is registered with the Federação do Culto Afro-Brasileiro de Salvador since 16 May 1984. It is led by babalorixá Pai Antonio de Obaluaiê, initiated on 3 January 1976 in the Queto nation. Ask the house in advance about attending ceremonies, since access follows the community's rules.

The terreiro participates in Salvador's Mapping Program of Candomblé Centers, contributing to the documentation of active religious spaces in the region. This role places it within a larger effort to record and preserve these important cultural institutions.
