Please make the correction in the heading of Article it is 'Nallasopara' not 'Nala Sopara' Replace : 'Nala Sopara' Iamprashantpandey ( talk) 04:40, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
It seems that there is simply no standard English spelling of the name of this town, so the spelling can't be helped. It seems to be common practice to spell it as "Nalasopara" in one sentence and as "Nallasopara" or "Nalla Sopara" in another at random.
The article makes the claim that "Sopara" has been "identified with the Ophir mentioned in the Hebrew texts", but the cited source seems to be The Bible. That claim seems to be based on original research. The claim that "Soparaka" has become a tirtha also seems to be based on original research. The cited source is a book titled Ancient Indian Historical Tradition. The book can be read here.
The relevant parts of the book are on the page 200 (p. 206 in the pdf), not 201 (though the "Reprint" edition may be different). The book says: "It is fabled that Rama, after exterminating the ksatriyas, sacrificed at Rama-tirtha with Kasyapa as his upadhyaya and gave him the earth (or a golden altar) as his fee: whereupon Kasyapa banished him to the southern ocean, and the ocean made the Surparaka country (near Bombay) for Rama, and Rama dwelt there.3" I'm not very familiar with the subject matter, but it seems to me that this excerpt does not obviously imply that Surparaka is a tirtha. The third footnote on the page says "MBh iii, 117, 10204-10, which says the tirtha is in SamantapaBcaka, on the R. Sarasvati (ix, 38, 2163; 45 : Hat 7, 3) in Kuruksetra (MBh i, 1. 12-13 : ix, 54, 3008)." I don't understand those numbers, but Kuruksetra and R. Sarasvati are in completely different geographical locations than Nala Sopara.
Also, the claim that "the Chakreshwar Mahadev Mandir is a very ancient shrine of Lord Śiva" is based on a Wordpress blog. VideoGamer1337 ( talk) 09:23, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
