I am looking for a function that will return the intersection of 2 or more polygons (geography type).
I am aware of ST_UNION, ST_COLLECT but it works only for geometry type.

You can cast to geometry and do the calculation. If your data goes over the poles or date-line that could be problematic. Also if you have long edges, in which the great-circle interpolation line differs from a simple cartesian interpolation. In those cases you might have to create your own aggregate function that re-projects to something reasonable before running the operation.
