This can be Operculina tansaensis, because the bracts are persistent, not caducous. The stems don't appear to be winged. The other character (peduncles shorter than petioles) is apparent though not clearly seen in the picture. Flowering is ahead of O. turpethum. The above features are indicative of O. tansaensis which is a rare plant and the type locality of Tansa Lake is not far from Aarey. Pls validate this ID. Regards Shrikant Ingalhalikar
