Many epics concern different rites. For example, those who are childless request The Old Man with Big White Beard (Argil Tsagaan Ovgon). Those who are poor ask for the Sunlight Khan epic. Households which are often affected by illness want to hear The Black Steppe Boar.
The epics Khan Kharangui, The Best Man (Eriin Sain Khan Kharangui) are not performed in summer. If however, there is a strong demand for it, first the roof flap is drawn over the hole and a short version is intoned. In its longer form, the epic can take all night.
