Hello Manoj,
Lovely simple portrait of a flower, the ID of which is unknown to me, but there are one or two expert botanists on this site, Ori Fragman, for instance.
Hope someone can make a suggestion.
Thanks,
Ivan

Hi Manoj,
Sorry I don't know the ID. But it is a very beautiful flower and you have captured it very well with excellent details. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Hello Manoj,
The flower looks like Melastoma malabathricum. It grows wild in moist climate. I found it growing on road sides in Kumaun region of Uttaranchal.
Regards,

Hi Manoj,
This picture really caught my eye. It has great focus and the flower is a lovely colour. I thought I'd have a play with it in CS3 to see if I could make the flower stand out a bit more and be a little brighter, so I have posted a WS. I hope it is useful. Thanks
Alan

Hello Manoj,
This is a beautiful flower, I know it as Native Laisandra which is the same flower as Nirmal suggested. (It has many names!!)
I've seen it in Australia. Lovely colours and details.
