Obá represents the turbulent waters of the rivers. Pororocas, strong waters, and places where waterfalls occur are considered to be Obá's domains. She also controls clay, stagnant water, mud, silt, and floods. She works together with Nanã.
She also represents the masculine aspect of women (physically) and the transformation of food from raw to cooked. She is also the mistress of the wheel. Although a feminine Orisha, she is energetic, feared, and strong, considered stronger than many male Orishas, winning in the fight over Oxalá, Iansã, Oxumarê, and Exú.
