I think both of the above are absolutely wrong indeed. Can anyone think of a Chlorophytum with long inflorescence in Maharastra? Those yellow things near the mouth of buds seems to me like anthers. So this cant be an Orchid at all. Even leaves doesnt point towards any of the Peristylus known to me. P. goodyeroides is absolutely ruled out. P. plantagineus, the colour doesnt match at all.
