This is Cymbidium aloifolium. (discard the previous mail plz). I am sorry for misidentification. Its today only I realised that its the other way around. What I had been thinking as aloifolium is bicolor and vice-versa.
I had been with Dr. C. Sathish Kumar for past two days and got an opportunity to discuss about manyyyyyyy orchids including this. Sorry to Santosh sir too.
