A geosynchronous satellite will never be over California; it will be over the equator. But it will be within view of California, which is the important thing.

It doesn't really matter where it is launched from; by careful adjustment of the speed of the spacecraft, the controllers can get it to any spot in geo-synch.

Why was the PSLV used for launching Chandrayaan-1?

India has two space rockets capable of launching satellites and space probes. The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) and the Geosynchrounous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV). Given the Payload mass of 1,308 kilograms of Chandrayaan-1, the PSLV was adequate to launch the Chandrayaan-1 into Earth orbit prior to commencing it's journey to the Moon. The Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) is a newer generation satellite launch vehicle capable of putting into Geostationary Earth orbit much heavier payloads up to 2500 kg.
