About this conversion
Yoruba tradition depicts the Orishas at human scale, many deified kings and heroes: Oshun at about 1.68m (1.68m), Oya at about 1.75m (1.75m), Obatala at about 1.80m (1.80m), Yemoja at about 1.82m (1.82m), Ogun at about 1.88m (1.88m) and Sango, the warrior third Alaafin of Oyo, most imposing at about 1.90m (1.90m).
No tradition gives meters, so these heights are fan-compiled mythic averages from orisha lore via theyorubapeople.com, Britannica (Yemoja) and Wikipedia (Sango, Ogun), like our Greek converter. 1 Sango = 1.13x Oshun (1.90/1.68), 1 Ogun = 1.04x Yemoja, making this converter a handy reference for lore debates, art scaling and everyday curiosity.
Units supported: Meters, feet, and Orisha heights (Oshun 1.68m, Oya 1.75m, Obatala 1.80m, Yemoja 1.82m, Ogun 1.88m, Sango 1.90m).
