*Why are Sanskrit Shlokas recited at functions?*

Shlokas are a means of praising and making an earnest prayer to God. Reciting a shloka helps develop humility in ourselves. Through recitation of shlokas, we narrate our problems, sufferings and expectations with bhav (Spiritual emotion) enriched with faith unto God. Shlokas possess Holy power. Through them and the bhav of the one who recites them, Deities are attracted to the earth region and they bestow benevolence. Conversation with God (through an emotion of surrender) through the medium of shlokas lightens our mind, and because of them we also obtain peace. That is precisely why, Hindu culture considers Sanskrut shlokas to be an excellent medium of worship. Besides, Sanskrut is more sattvik when compared with other languages, and since it is a Vedic language, meaning the language of the Deities, Sanskrut shlokas are enriched with Chaitanya (Divine consciousness).
