Dawar is a traditional form of poetry and storytelling found in various cultures, particularly in the Middle East and South Asia. It often involves the recitation of verses that convey moral lessons, historical events, or cultural values. The performance is typically accompanied by music and can be a communal activity, fostering a sense of connection among participants. In many regions, Dawar serves as a means of preserving oral history and cultural heritage. It is often performed during festivals, gatherings, or special occasions, allowing communities to celebrate their identity. The art form is closely related to other storytelling traditions, such as Qissa and Ghazal.
