Dear Garg ji, In my opinion, *Aster peduncularis* is the closest match for this plant, as of now, with no major discrepancies, w.r.t. the description here <https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1467-8748.2008.00615.x>. So, I would rather leave it as it is until some more clarity comes up. Best wishes Tabish
