This could be any of many cultivars of *Impatiens walleriana* Hook.f. (syn. *Impatiens sultani* Hook.f.) commonly known as busy lizzy, garden balsam, Japanese balsam or sultan's balsam.
Ref: Flowers of India<http://www.flowersofindia.in/catalog/slides/Sultan%27s%20Balsam.html>, Wikipedia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impatiens_walleriana>. The posted plant closely resembles *Impatiens pulcherrima* Dalz., endemic to Western Ghats of India. Calling Ajinkya and friends to please validate. Regards.
