Jyeṣṭhābhiṣekādyutthānotsavāntavidhi (ज्येष्ठाभिषेकाद्युत्थानोत्सवान्तविधि) (lit. “the rules for jyeṣṭhābhiṣeka to the conclusion of waking up liturgies”) is the name of chapter 41 of the Śrīpraśnasaṃhitā: a Pāñcarātra text comprising 5500 Sanskrit verses covering a number of subjects ranging from selecting a temple site through building and furnishing it to sanctifying and maintaining worship in the sacred complex.

Description of the chapter [jyeṣṭhābhiṣekādyutthānotsavāntavidhi]: Bhagavān says that on the full moon day of jyeṣṭha month the idol is to be stripped of its ornamental plates and ritually bathed with 81 pots of water (1-14). On the twelfth day of the bright fortnight of āṣāḍha-month, a small icon of the Lord [or a kūrca-proxy] is placed in a special maṇḍapa on a special couch, and kept there for four months until the 11th day of the bright fortnight of kārttika-month, when the Lord is roused from His slumber (15-36). At that time, the Ācārya approaches God and requests Him for the benefit of the world to wake up. While regular worship has not been interrupted, elaborate special functions which have been suspended during the 4-month period may once again be resumed (37-53a).
