[3] In the Gopaka plate inscription, it is documented that Jaykeshi I took action in AD 1052 by establishing a fleet at Velakula, a major port situated on the banks of the Zuari River.

However, according to local residents John and Maria Gonsalves from Guddivaddo, the advent of pisciculture brought about a drastic transformation that irreparably impacted Neura's agricultural pursuits.

According to Vinod Kamat, the former sarpanch, the once rich agricultural fields of Neura, which covered an area of 10 km (6.2 mi), have been completely destroyed as a result of illegal and unlawful fishing activities taking place in the village.

He highlighted that in addition to the devastation caused to agriculture, Neura's khazans have also suffered major damage due to the lack of action taken by the panchayat and comunidades against those responsible for the wrongdoings.

This idea finds support in the historical context of the region, as the area known today as 'Velfali khazan' served as a safe harbor for ships during the Kadamba era.

[8] In close proximity to the ruins of the Ravalnath Temple, which suffered destruction during the Portuguese era, stands the historic Church of St. John the Evangelist, which was constructed between the years 1541 and 1542.

[2] Additionally, near the outskirts of Neura village, the St. Sebastian Chapel can be found, dating back to the 17th century, which is perched atop a hillock.
