Tabuik is a unique cultural tradition held to commemorate Ashura, honoring Hussein in Karbala. The word “Tabuik” comes from Arabic, meaning “wooden chest.” This tradition arrived in the archipelago through India, grew in Bengkulu, and reached Pariaman around 1826, where it blended beautifully with local culture and became a cherished heritage of the people of Pariaman, West Sumatra.
