A Tabuik is the local manifestation of the Mourning of Muharram, in particular Ashura in Twelver Shi'a Islam, among the Minangkabau people in the coastal regions of West Sumatra, Indonesia, particularly in the city of Pariaman. The ceremony is also observed by the Bengkulu Malays in Bengkulu, where it is known as Tabot and has become a significant cultural tradition in the region.
