'''Chaudi''' is a town in the [Kushavati district](/source/Kushavati_district) of the state of [Goa](/source/Goa), [India](/source/India). It is located approximately two kilometres from the city of [Canacona](/source/Canacona).

== History ==
The town used to be a place of public business and housed a village hall, as each [comunidade](/source/Comunidades_of_Goa) had its own hall called ''chavdi'' or ''chaudi'' where village elders would make important decisions. In Canacona, Chaudi has maintained its prominence as the principal town of the taluka.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Phaldesai |first=Pandurang R |date=2001 |title=A Cultural History of the Canacona Taluka of Goa |url=http://irgu.unigoa.ac.in/drs/handle/unigoa/3898 |journal=Goa University |pages=21 |via=Institutional Repository @ Goa University}}</ref>
