Cavel is a neighbourhood in South Mumbai. It is located to the north-east of Dhobitalao near the Chira Bazaar area. rom the Koli name Kolwar. The Kolis of this village were converted to Christianity by the Portuguese in the 16th century. Cavel thus became a Christian enclave, and later immigrants of this religion, from Goa, Daman, Bassein and Salsette settled here. Two Portuguese churches are built here, "Nossa Senhora de Saude" and "Nossa Senhora d'Esperance". In later centuries, when the Christian population moved north, Gujarati and Marwari traders moved into Cavel.
