Hoyak Tabuik, The Lively Annual Festival of the Pariaman People

Since the morning each road in the center of Pariaman City has begun to be filled with a sea of ​​people who want to witness the moments when the parts of the tabuik statue are united in the procession of going up and riding in pangkek. when the afternoon went on, the atmosphere would be even more vibrant, as the two tabuik statues moved from Pasa and Subarang to the meeting points of the two groups.  that's about a little picture of the peak of the Tabuik Festival which is the most awaited event by hundreds of thousands of people every year. the excitement of the peak of the people's party not only belongs to the local community of Pariaman, but is also felt by tourists, both local and international.  As this tabuik procession begins, we will witness another excitement phenomenon. in the noisy crowd of Gandang Tasa that accompanied the procession, the two Tabuik statues will be shaken by dozens of people who served in each group.  then with all their might, the bearers will play a tabuik statue which will be greeted by repeated loud shouts from members of the group, "Raise Hussein! Raise Hussein! Raise Hussein!". the shout was a sign of the start of one of the most eagerly awaited momentum by the spectators.  In Minangkabau language, it is simply broken by shaking or shaking. in the context of the Tabuik Festival celebration, it can be interpreted by shaking a pair of tabuik statues. This dozen meter tall statue is in the form of a Buraq creature believed to carry a wooden chest containing the body of Hussein bin Ali RA.  the two statues were made by two different groups of people, namely the Pasa people who lived in the area around Pariaman and Subarang markets, areas across the Pariaman River, commonly called Kampung Jawa.  each year, each tabuik group will try to perform better than the other groups which often cause friction between the two procession groups. this makes the momentum when they cross each other is always a tense moment for both sides.  Both groups of people, both in Pasa and Subarang, will be competing to make a solid tabuik frame construction so that their tabuik is strong when torn apart. besides being solid, aesthetic factors are also a concern for these two groups so the outside of tabuik will be decorated as beautifully as possible by the artists who made it.  the decoration in the form of flowers and colorful flowers covering it, making the Tabuik statue look beautiful when spinning and being shaken. This tabuik statue makes the torn taboo procession an interesting entertainment for those who witness it.
