Respected Dr. Chitra Ji, Thank you very much for the ID of this plant. Taking cue from you i have found description and images at - http://toptropicals.com/cgi-bin/garden_catalog/cat.cgi?uid=Abelmoschus_moschatus. Also learned that these flowers can be yellow also.
Later in order to take more photographs i visited that particular place a number of times but the plant seemed to be vanished. I also searched the surrounding area, there was no trace of a second individual. Thank you once again.
