Satish: not a botanist... but this one I can validate from the knowledge gained from gardening and books.. Its a delphenium.. I used to grow delphiniums..blue and white and an occasional pink in my garden...
and based on comparison with Gibson's pictures... can be audacious enough to say I validate your flowers... a delphenium malabaricum... BUT WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE LEAVES THOUGH.... Gibson's garden at Dapuri in Maharashtra had these growing, and he commissioned a painting of it... I have a print... and today I found its on sale at amazon uk at (see the Link below) .... only problem is the blue of the original has apparently faded and a pink hues is all that remains of of the original painting... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Delphinium-Malabaricum-fine-botanical-print/dp/B004TLW0NQ you can zoom in and then even enlarge parts of it to examine.. almost as good as a herbarium page and a magnifying glass...
