Helloindonesia.id – Stilt houses on Jalan Syech Burhanuddin and Jalan Imam Bonjol, Kota Pariaman, West Sumatra, stand out from other buildings. When 1-10 Muharam arrived, this house was used for the making of Tabuik. That is the embodiment of a buroq carrying Husein bin Ali’s body flew into the sky and disappeared.

Divided into two parts, Tabuik is made of bamboo and rattan decorated with black and red velvet cloth. Before being paraded towards Gondariah Beach, Tabuik was first made and assembled in a building called the Tabuik Pasa House and the Subarang Tabuik House.

Tabuik’s house is made of wood in the form of a house on stilts. Imitating the traditional style of a coastal community home in Pariaman and was inaugurated on April 9, 2011 by the Director General of Tourism Destination Development.

Each Tabuik House has the same function, namely as making Tabuik and Tabuik Museum.

Every year, the top of the tower-shaped Tabuik with colorful decorations is made in one of the Tabuik Houses. While the lower part in the form of a winged horse and a human head symbolizes a buroq built at another Tabuik House.
