Hi Mr.Garg, While we await further close-up photographs of the flowers and leaves, would like to also draw to your attention the fact that the flowers have fairly long pedicels. Flowers of B.variegata are 'orchid-like', almost sessile in short few-flowered racemes never of the same colour. Regards, Neil.

In Bauhinia one has to look at the arrangement of the flowering parts. Unless you provide these details / close up of flowers one cannot identify properly. The most important distinctive characters are : B.variegata has 3 central petals overlapping with 5 long stamens, whereas the B.purpurea has no overlapping petals but possess 3 long fertile stamens and 2 (or more) short ones!
