Thanks Mr. Garg for resurfacing this mail. It is the Indian Kudzu. It had flowered recently and I had posted the photographs here. With regards, Neil Soares.

Some earlier relevant feedback: “Could this be the Indian Kudzu [Pueraria tuberosa] ? Regards, Neil Soares. ” “I was about to say Spatholobus but then I saw the previous link. I think its high time for your to dig it out. If you find the tubers below then it should be Pueraria tuberosa. In Jharkhand tribals call it Patal Kohda Literally meaning UNDERGROUND PUMPKIN!! Pankaj” "Difficult, almost impossible to find the origin of these climbers due to the thick vegetation. Await other opinions. Meanwhile will keep a lookout for the fruit later [when the climber is leafless] and the flowering [which occurs beween February and April].
