Nyabinghi (Mansion of Rastafari)

Nyabinghi is one of the oldest denominations, or "Mansions", of the Jamaican religion of Rastafari.

Probably the largest Rastafari group, the House of Nyabinghi is an aggregate of more traditional and militant Rastas who seek to retain the movement close to the way in which it existed during the 1940s.^[1] They stress the idea that Haile Selassie was Jah and the reincarnation of Jesus.^[1] The wearing of dreadlocks is regarded as indispensable and patriarchal gender roles are strongly emphasized.
