Śrīrāmajanmotsavavidhi (श्रीरामजन्मोत्सवविधि) (lit. “rules for the festive celebration of Rāma’s birthday”) is the name of chapter 29 of the Viṣvaksenasaṃhitā: a Pāñcarātra text comprising 2800 Sanskrit verses dealing with theological matters, image-worship, iconography (relating to pratimā-icons) and the construction of temples.

Description of the chapter [śrīrāmajanmotsavavidhi]: Here Viṣvaksena undertakes to describe the particular way in which the star-day of Rāghava (=Rāma) is celebrated. The procedure is much the same as described in the preceding chapter—aṅkurārpaṇa, snapana, ācāryapūjā, kautukabandha, homa, etc. The difference seems to be that instead of an excursion to the river or to a tank for elaborate bathing-rites, the central concern here is to decorate the icon of the Lord Rāghava with special ornaments, powders and clothes whereupon He is taken in procession around the village, afterwards bathed and then offered mahāhavis (1-22a).
