Happy Ganesh Chaturthi!
When the Portuguese arrived in Goa in 1510, there was a beautiful and famous
temple of Ganesh in Navelim. The temple was demolished around 1540.
During the Portuguese rule, the feast of Ganesh was celebrated at night because
the Portuguese initially would not allow the Hindus to celebrate their
festivities during daytime. A long procession took an image of Ganesh in
triumph to Miramar where it was thrown in the sea. Eventually the religious
intolerance eased and ceased but the tradition of celebrating it at night
continued.
