We are thinking to perform penance there.

The side which had thirumazhisai lowered highliting that it is greater than the entire bhUlOkam. The rishis saw that and become astonished about the glories of this small town in comparison to other places. brahmA spoke \u201cAs you can yourself see, mahIsAra kshEthram is the best place for your penances. So you all go there and perform your penances that will fulfill your desires\u201d. The rishis then arrived at mahIsAra kshEthram and performed their penances and were greatly blessed.<\/p>\n<p>Such is the glories of this great kshEthram.<\/p>\n<h3>Summary<\/h3>\n<p><strong>perumAL<\/strong><b>:<\/b>\u00a0jagannAthan<\/p>\n<p><strong>mUlavar posture<\/strong>: sitting<\/p>\n<p><strong>thAyAr<\/strong><b>:<\/b>\u00a0thirumangai valli thAyAr<\/p>\n<p><strong>sthalAdhipathi\/AchAryan<\/strong>:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/guruparamparai.wordpress.com\/2013\/01\/16\/thirumazhisai-azhwar\/\">thirumazhisai AzhwAr<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>pushkariNi<\/strong>: brugu pushkariNi<\/p>\n<p><strong>sthala vruksham:<\/strong>\u00a0pArijAtha vruksham<\/p>\n<p><strong>Agamam<\/strong>: srI vaikAnasam<\/p>\n<p>Read article on\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/guruparamparai.wordpress.com\/2013\/01\/16\/thirumazhisai-azhwar\/\">thirumazhisai AzhwAr<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>thirumazhisai AzhwAr\u2019s archAvathAra anubhavam \u2013\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/ponnadi.blogspot.in\/2012\/10\/archavathara-anubhavam-thirumazhisai-azhwar.html\">http:\/\/ponnadi.blogspot.in\/2012\/10\/archavathara-anubhavam-thirumazhisai-azhwar.html<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>bhakthi sAra, thathva sAra and upadhEsa sAra \u2013\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/ponnadi.blogspot.in\/2013\/01\/sara-thrayam.html\">http:\/\/ponnadi.blogspot.in\/2013\/01\/sara-thrayam.html<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<header class=\"entry-header\">\n<h3 class=\"entry-title\">Deities\/uthsavams<\/h3>\n<\/header>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<p>There are several sannidhis and uthsavams that happen for the emperumAns, AzhwArs and AchAryas in this dhivya dhEsam.<\/p>\n<p>Inside the temple:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Presiding deity\n<ul>\n<li>mUlavar \u2013 jagannAtha perumAL with rukmiNi (SrI dhEvi) and sathyabAmA (bhU dhEvi) nAchchiyArs<\/li>\n<li>uthsavar \u2013 jagannAtha perumAL with SrI dhEvi, bhUmi dhEvi and nILA dhEvi nAchchiyArs<\/li>\n<li>thirumazhisai AzhwAr<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>thanikkOyil nAchchiyArs (separate thAyAr sannidhis)\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/guruparamparai.wordpress.com\/2012\/08\/17\/divya-dhampathi\/\">thirumangai valli thAyAr<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/guruparamparai.wordpress.com\/2012\/12\/16\/andal\/\">ANdAL<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>lakshmi narasimhar<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/guruparamparai.wordpress.com\/2012\/08\/18\/senai-mudhaliar\/\">sEnai mudhaliyAr<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/guruparamparai.wordpress.com\/azhwars\/\">AzhwArs<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/guruparamparai.wordpress.com\/2012\/09\/06\/emperumanar\/\">emperumAnAr<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/guruparamparai.wordpress.com\/2012\/09\/23\/azhagiya-manavala-mamunigal\/\">maNAvALa mAmunigaL<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Outside the temple:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>thiruvadi (hanumAn) sannidhi<\/li>\n<li>Separate temple for vIRRiruntha perumAL is also present in the close vicinity of jagannAtha perumaL\/thirumazhisai AzhwAr temple.
