I think these pictures are of Pancratium triflorum, as pointed out by
Dinesh. The book Flowers of Sahyadri illustrates the two species well.
The stamens are enclosed by a conical structure formed by a membrane -
this structure is very narrow in P. parvum whereas in P. triflorum it
is wide and its margin is cut into teeth.
