Hi Satya babu,
This is a pied paddy skimmer. You can see this post of mine. The picture is not sharp but you have composed it very well. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Hi Satya,
I also thought it is a Pied Paddy Skimmer but the yellow markings on the abdomen is missing which makes it look so different. I searched my book of dragonflies but could not find a matching one. Maybe it is a nymph. Great image among the green foliage. have to go there to find it. Excellent POV and composition. Kudos.
TFS.
