At the end of each year, the Temuan tribe celebrates Ayik Muyang (Hari Moyang, or Ancestor Day) to honour and express gratitude to their ancestors for a bountiful year, a good harvest and keeping watch over them.

The celebration typically lasts a few days, and in past years, there had been various Hari Moyang events that were opened to the public.
