Terreiro de Jauá, Candomblé religious center in Camaçari, Brazil.

The Terreiro de Jauá extends across 15,000 square meters, featuring native vegetation, African sacred trees, and a lagoon inhabited by local wildlife.

Founded in Rio de Janeiro in 1967 by Tata Laércio de Lemba, the temple relocated to Jauá in 1993 after religious obligations at Terreiro Bate Folha.

The Center for Study and Research of Bantu Tradition within the temple provides education in Kimbundu language for religious ceremonies and rituals.

The temple supports social initiatives through the Family Artisan project, teaching 20 residents to create crafts using local vines.

The main hall contains sanctuaries for various inquices, including Bamburucema, Dandalunda, Lemba, and Zaze, with the principal shrine dedicated to Lemba Furamã.
