Garg ji I think your pictures match more with Elsholtzia fruticosa. Please check pg 100 of Polunin & Stainton. The leaves pictures in the second link provided by you below with Lamiaceae as the heading are more lanceolate and helps in establishing the difference betwen the two species E. fruticosa and E. eriostachya. regards, Rashida.
