A Vodou temple is called an "ounfò", varyingly spelled "hounfò", "hounfort", or "humfo". An alternative term is "gangan", although the connotations of this term vary regionally in Haiti. In Vodou, most communal activities center around this temple, forming what is called "temple Vodou". The size and shape of ounfòs vary, from basic shacks to more lavish structures, the latter being more common in Port au Prince than elsewhere in Haiti; their designs are dependent on the resources and tastes of the oungan or manbo running them. Ounfòs are autonomous of one another, and may have their own unique customs.
