The Orunmila Temple in Ekiti State stands as one of the most important spiritual centers for practitioners of the Ifa religion, dedicated to Orunmila—the deity of wisdom, knowledge, and divination in Yoruba cosmology. For centuries, it has served as a place where Babalawos (Ifa priests) perform consultations, rituals, and initiations that connect people with divine guidance.
The temple is not just a physical structure but a living hub of oral tradition, where verses from the sacred Odu Ifa are recited and preserved. Pilgrims and cultural enthusiasts visit during festivals and sacred gatherings, particularly during the annual Ifa festival, which draws devotees from across Nigeria and the Yoruba diaspora.
Set against the serene backdrop of Ekiti’s rolling hills, the Orunmila Temple remains a cultural anchor—preserving indigenous spirituality while welcoming seekers from all walks of life to witness and experience the deep wisdom of Ifa.
