Hindu marriage you don't register under Special Marriage Act, you will register under Hindu Marriage Act.
That's the best way if you don't have much time,have a temple ceremony, then register your marriage in court.

Special Marriage Act requires a 30-day notice period, (in Goa it's 10days)but your fiance can submit the application for you, before you come.
