Introduction

Mayiladuthurai is located 9 km south of Mangainallur on the road to Tharangambadi. Soman was called Neelaveli because it is a place of worship of the moon and later transformed into Neelaveli. The name of Lord Sthalam is also Somnath. The temple is located on the south bank of the river Veeracholan and faces west. Then over time, there are only gates that have fallen into disrepair without worship. The steps of the worn-out gate are crumbling to the ground today. The gates are covered with thorns. Many years have passed since Somnath, his goddess, and other deities were kept in the same room. Some statues are lying outside with no place to put them. We should give what we can to the temple work and earn the blessings. As our dharma, even if we give a brick, that brick, in that temple, for as many years as there are, can live in the workshop for a thousand years. # “With the kind permission of Sri Kadambur K.
