Quelossim ( Konkani: केळशी ) is a village in Salcette Taluk, South Goa, India. This village was known asKardalipura in ancient times and had a temple dedicated to the mother-goddess Shantadurga which was shifted to Kavale when the Portuguese demolished the shrine as a part of the inquisition. Prior to the Portuguese-era, Quelossim was a center of the Goud Saraswat Brahmins in Goa.[1] The famous Konkani poet Krishnadas Shama hailed from this village.[2]
