Chandor is a village in Salcete sub-district of South Goa, in the Indian state of Goa. It lies on the southern bank of the Zuari River and western bank of the Kushavati River.
==History== The ancient city of Chandrapura, where Chandor now stands, served as a capital from the Bhoja period to that of the Kadambas. The name comes from Chandreshwar, meaning Lord of the Moon, after the Hindu god Shiva, who wears a crescent in his hair. Chandor has a fort and a temple within its citadel. Located from the inland of Margao, it has both ancient and modern aspects to its history.
