Pariaman is a small town on the west coast of West Sumatra of only 73.36 square kilometers. Since the early 20th century, the city saw no ship more merchants to the absence of appropriate port. With its port and trading now only a nostalgic history, the city administration has focused on tourism.

Although the Pariaman people do not follow the Shiite school of Islam, this celebration commemorates the death of the hero Shiite Hasan and Hussain, descendants of the prophet Muhammad. Despite its origin, a Tabuik rite is not only a religious ceremony, but also the main tourist attraction in Pariaman.
A Tabuik is a statue of a burak , or a horse with broad wings and a human head, with the heads of the girls smiling, wings and large tail . It is made from bamboo, rattan and paper. On the back of the coffins with beautiful decorations and umbrellas on top. On both sides, the statues are decorated with eight paper flowers.
In the days before the festival, scores of fraud and some tasa drums are collected from shops outside the city and made to two houses of Tabuik to be adjusted and repaired if necessary. Meanwhile, materials and tools to make Daraga (funeral sanctuary) and the funeral bier burak developed and high will be brought to a shed outside the houses of Tabuik. For each of the ten days of the festival, a series of ritual requirements must be satisfied. Any departure from the rules could spell disaster.
The first day, the men build the first stage of Daraga on a clay mold in a neighboring yard and build a bamboo fence around it. Women's groups in each house Tabuik begin to decorate umbrellas with white paper flowers for scores to be placed on the Daraga and to decorate the high burak is the tenth day. The afternoon of the first day, two villages in charge of organizing the festival Tabuik hold their first main procession: maambiak tanah (take a dirt cloud), which symbolizes the body of Hasan dan Husain, dust to dust.

The main ritual must take place on the fifth day. Turun panja (outspread hand returns) ritual will take place. Panja , also known as jari-jari (fingers), is made of gold, silver or zinc, symbolizing the dismembered hand of Hasan. It came down to this ritual every fifth of Muharram and considering its annual washing purification in the lemon water. Late in the afternoon, the ceremony called batang pisang mamancang (cut the stem of bananas) will be conducted simultaneously in the two villages.
