Jayesh ji ... *gokarna* (Sanskrit: गोकर्ण meaning, adj. having OR resembling cow's ears) is most appropriately the name of *Clitoria ternatea*, butterfly pea flower.
But this name is also shared by *Aletris hyacinthoides* (not familiar with this flower) ... not very sure, *Barleria cristata* is also associated with this name. The local Marathi name for *Clitoria annua* (syn. C. biflora) is *supali*(सुपली). Regards.
