Quelossim is a village in Mormugao taluka, South Goa, India. The village was known as Kardalipura in ancient times and had a temple dedicated to the Hindu mother-goddess Shantadurga which was shifted to Kavale 450 years ago when the Portuguese demolished the shrine as a part of the inquisition.{{Cite book |last=Mukherjee |first=Sujit |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=YCJrUfVtZxoC |title=A Dictionary of Indian Literature: Beginnings-1850 |date=1998 |publisher=Orient Blackswan |isbn=978-81-250-1453-9 |pages=188 |language=en}} The original temple was destroyed during the religious persecution period circa 1566.
