Neura[a] (English: /njurɑː/ ; also known as Velakulathe official name until 1310 CE) is a village located in the Tiswadi taluka of Goa, India. The village boasts a historical heritage tracing back to the era of the Kadambas of Goa and is known for its collection of villas and mansions.[2] During the reign of the Kadamba dynasty, the village was a bustling centre, primarily due to its Naval quarters. It was also a center for learned Brahmin-Sinais.
