Mountain of the Moon

About the Name:
Niligiri “Blue Mountain” is located in TamilNadu, Southern India.

According to a ‘well informed Koimbatoori’, ‘The Orientalist containing a series of tales,legends and historical romances’ published in 1842 had this to say about the origin of the name.

The name is derived from the Moon, says the legend current among the Hindus of Koimbatoor.

God Ram was in pursuit of his enemy Ravana, who it is well known had forcibly carried off thedivine Goddess Sita.

Ram sped through the vaulted heavens, having his sword drawn, ready to
deal the death blow of revenge to Ravana. In the forgetfulness of this direful wrath, by a carelesswave of his mighty weapon , he struck the moon with the point thereof and severed from the facea chain of verdant mountains which fell to the earth in the province of Koimbatoor and united
the Eastern ghats and the Western ghats.Hence came the name Chandragiri (Mountain of the Moon).

A name which was subsequently changed by Ram to Neilgherry (Blue Mountains) because he
could not endure to be reminded of his careless mischance.

For the doubtful, the well informed Koimbatoree said, “Let him look upon the moon when threeor four days old and he will see upon her unequal disk, the very spot from which the Neilgherries
were cut off”.
