Recitation/Discourse

Discourses are poetic and literary speech forms which are either already composed or spoken extemporaneously to explain the context and significance of certain place or events or facilitate a smooth process of a specific action such as consecration of a house or consolation of a family in bereavement. The recitations and chanting are mostly in local languages and dialects and delivered like a speech or peotry reading but from the memory rather than reading a text.
