You did not say if you thought this was being cultivated in the botanical garden?
This species has not been recorded from Nepal but the 'Enumeration of the Flowering Plants of Nepal' focussed on wild species. 14 Violas have been recorded for Nepal. Viola odorata was planted in gardens in the Punjab and in Hill Stations in the foothills of the NW Himalaya and apparently naturalised in parts of Hazara, Pakistan. Whether it is suited to Godawari's climate, I do not know. The 'Sweet Violet' (you did not mention any scent) is found in the UK, Europe, Asia Minor, Caucasus, Syria, N.Africa, Macronesia - even what was Palestine. Violas are not always easy to identify, so close-ups of the floral parts both corollas and sepals (incl. appendages) plus views of the foliage are important. I am not familiar enough with the genus to comment on the likelihood of the plant belonging to *V.odorata* based upon just one general image. Perhaps others are?
