The Revati Nakshatra festival, also known as Sharari or Gagarmezza, marks the beginning of the Nag festivals in Bhaderwah ( Doda), Jammu

Here's the text in a normal format:

On this day, temple priests and devotees collect sacred clay from Paasri, a suburb of Bhaderwah, while bijentries play traditional instruments. The clay is believed to be from the cremation site of Bodh Raj Sangan Dutt, a learned Brahman who sacrificed his life during the installation of idols at the Vasuki Nag Temple.

Members of the Dutt clan symbolically try to stop the clay collection, but the bijentries drown their objections with loud music. The clay is then mixed with water and used to draw auspicious symbols like trishuls and serpents on doors of temples and homes, bringing good fortune, prosperity, and protection from evil spirits.

The festival is a centuries-old tradition in Bhaderwah, showcasing the region's rich cultural heritage.
