Thank you Manudev I now remember from the leaves that I have seen them in the streams in the evergreen patches and I think may be in Kulathupuzha as well. But I never know that this plant has such a beautiful inflorescence (the one that we see is an inflorescence, Am I correct?)
I will mark some plant near Pooyamkuty and Bhuthathankettu and may seek your help to get it id.
