Azhwars have done Mangalasasanam for some Divya Desams very elaborately. For example all 11 Azhwars have sung in praise of Srirangam( Divya Desam 1), Ten Azhwars have sung in praise of Thiruvengadam ( Divya Desam 75) and Thiruparkadal ( Divya Desam 107). Managasasanam to as many as 67 Divydesams  was done by one of the eleven Azhwars only

Mangalasasanam depending on how elaborate it is, covered the one or more of following aspects

• Name of Divya desam directly or in a subtle way
• Name of Emperuman directly or in a subtle way
• Manobhavam of Azhwar who composed the pasuram
• References to events , Leelas in Vibhava Avatars
• References to Para, Vyuha and Antharyami forms of Sriman Narayana
• References to 26 Thatwams ( Paramatma, Jeevatma, Moola Prakruthi, Mahaan, Ahankaaram, Manasu, Kaalam Five each of elements, attributes,  Indriyas and Senses)
• Divya Desa Vimana, Pushkarini etc
• Natural beauty of the Divya desam surroundings

The pasuram presented below is by Pillai Perumal Iyengar, who was a sishya of Paarasar Bhattar. Pillai Perumal Iyengar  had composed Ashta( eight) Prabhandhams. One of them is Notrettu Thiruppathi Andhadhi which had one pasuram each for each of the 108 Divya Desams. 

In this Pasuram Perumal Pillai Iyengar performs Mangalasasanam to the Lord of Thiru Indhalur. Perumal Pillai Iyengar advices and invites his mind and says “ Let us visit the Divyadesams ans seek the Lotus feet of Lord Sriman Narayana who has taken Archavatar in these Divya Desams, Let us also join the many devotees whos are also seeking the Lotus feet of the Lords of these Divya Desams. Let us also seek the lotus feet of Lord of Indhalur Divya desam whose streets are covered smell of burning of eaglewood. “
