It has to be a cactus or succulent. my best guess is some sp. of euphorbia. However, it is a guess only.

I tried to look for Euphorbia species on the net & in the Tropical Garden plants by Bose, Chowdhury & Sharma, but couldn't find this one. Further one can see the leaves in the picture, which is not there in the Euphorbia species.

Hi, Ambika ji,

Do you have other pictures showing leaves etc.? If so, pl. post them.

Looks like lamiaceae. But it is a beautiful; shot

The plant looks like one of the wild  Jacobinia sps, belonging to  Acanthaceae family.   I have seen most beautiful Jacobinias in USA( J.cornea).  But they are cultivated.   Any how please check for the morphological descriptions of the  plant and flowers to make sure of the sepcies.

Here is the Wilkepedia link. amika has to confirm whether it is the same flower.

Jacobinia is the genus name ( part of the species name/ botanical name).  Many times the botanical name and comma names are the same.
