Many thanks Nidhan ji.
Indeed it was used a musical instrument, and perhaps even is - in remote
villages.
The snake charmer's instrument *pungi* perhaps is made using two of these
fruits - sealed and crafted.
Sages in the ancient days also had their water vessel - *kamandulu* made
from this fruit.

 Very interesting Dinesh Ji,

 This peculiar shape makes this plant very useful to be used as a musical
 instrument, using a string...that instrument is known as Tumbi, that's
 why this is called Tumbiphalam in one of the tongues...this has largely
 been replaced by wooden ones, but traditionally this was used, the fruit
 was allowed to dry completely and then skilled hands turned this into
 beautiful and melodious instrument..

 We do have two such types of cucumber in Kashmir. One which is grown on
 floating gardens of Dal lake (Dal kheera) is normal large kheera that we
 get in markets without visible tubercles, whereas one to generally grow in
 our kitchen gardens (similar to one uploaded by Raghu ji) is lighter in
 colour, smaller in size and prominent tubercles which don't rub off easily.
 We used to call it baghi kheera, mush tastier than Dal kheera one.

“Cant see the pic here, but this is my reply in original post where I can

I dont think this is Monstera, but Rhaphidophora *most probably, R.
decursiva*.” from Pankaj ji.

I was also thinking the same as that of Pankaj but couldn't refer further.
This plant, I think, is even seen in the forests in Kerala (eg. Perya
forests in Waynad) as well.

The plant *could be a Convolvulaceae* but seeing the frontal view of the

Please try to take some additional views if at all possible if time and
location permit.

 2.   Is it Ixora brachiata? Are I brachiata flowers very fragrant?

 3.   It definitely cannot be Lepisanthes tetraphylla?

Our thanks are due to Balkar Singh, but the series is yet to be completed,
no one has uploaded a prominent, popular and  common cucurbit known as

Leaves aromatic in A. calcarata but not so in A. galanga. (Of course there
