This is *Abelmoschus angulosus* Wall ex.Wight &Arn. Thanks to Gurumurthy Hegde for suggesting the ID.
... fits very nicely to botanical painting <https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/42/Abelmoschus_angulosus.jpg> at Wikimedia. and also herbarium specimens <http://florakarnataka.ces.iisc.ac.in/hjcb2/herbsheet.php?id=2662&cat=1> at JCB Herbarium (Digital Flora of Karnataka).
