I. pavetta has slightly larger flowers and the buds are elliptic. I could see what appear to be a few buds in one of your photos. In I. brachiata the buds are globose. The flowering season of I. brachiata seems to be shorter, at least in Sahyadris, and more restricted to the winter months. Without the 2 plants side by side it is not easy to distinguish them from one another.
