Kabupaten Pariaman

Festival Tabuik
Festival Tabuik adalah acara keagamaan, berupa arak-arakan seperti Ogoh-ogoh di Bali dan Lombok, untuk memperingati kematian cucu Nabi Muhammad SAW, Husain, pada pertempuran di Karbala. Tabuik adalah benda serupa keranda bertingkat tiga yang terbuat dari kayu, rotan dan bambu. Tabuik biasanya diarak dari Pasar Pariaman menuju Pantai Gondaria dan dibuang kemudian ke laut. Berat Tabuik sekitar 500 kg dan tinggi + 15 meter dengan biaya pembuatan sampai ratusan juta rupiah. Salah satu budaya unik nusantara ini diadakan sekali setahun menurut kalender Islam, antara tanggal 1-10 Muharam.

Tabuik is the local manifestation of the Remembrance of Muharram among the Minangkabau people in the coastal regions of West Sumatra, Indonesia, particularly in the city of Pariaman. The festival includes reenactments of the Battle of Karbala, and the playing of tassa and dhol drums. Tabuik is also the term used to refer to the high funeral biers carried around during remembrance procession. Although originally a Shi'a festival, nowadays most inhabitants of Pariaman and other area's where similar Tabuik-festivals are held, are mainly Sunni Muslims.

Tabuik is made from bamboo, rattan and paper. During the week of Tabuik many activities are held including kite races, traditional plays such as Tari Piring and traditional plays. THe remembrance draws a large crowd including dignitaries such as the provincial governor, to see Tabuik in the morning before it is slowly taken to the beach. At noon, before it is thrown into the sea, there is a lot of activity with Tabuik. After they are thrown into the sea many people go swimming looking for 'memories' of the Tabuik to keep.

The practice of throwing a tabuik into the sea has taken place every year in Pariaman on the 10th of Muharram since 1831. The practice was introduced to the region by Shi'ite Muslim sepoy troops from India who were stationed and later settled there during the British Raj.
