Ganesh Chaturthi is one of the main Hindu Festivals of Goa.
It usually occurs during August / September every year.

Devotees install idol of Lord Ganapati in their houses.
The Lord stays in their homes either for 1.5 days or 5 days, end of the period, usually during night, all idols are immersed in the nearby river, pond or into Arabian sea.

Huge idols of Lord Ganapati are installed at public places by the traditional temple or village committees or Mandals. These idols are immersed on  7, 9 or 11th  day

Update 24th Sept.2012 (Ganapati Dekhava at Marcel, Cumbarjua & Panjim)
 
Our visit yesterday

At least 3 regulars did not participated this year.
Two form Khandola and one from Thapan wada, Cumbarjua (in the river).
One at Marcel Tariwada we have boycotted this year for they don't allow photography even
upon request or payment. We had bad experience in the past.
Although, most other places at Marcel photogpaphy not allowed, we managed to
take pics upon a payment/donation of Rs.50 each at two places

I wish they all allow Photography with a fee of say Rs.50
