  Yes. Artemisia vulgaris.    In kannada it is known as manjepatre.   It is a very useful medicinal plant (for mental disorders ?).   Please check this link for more details.:  westernghatsindia.org/ibin/index.php?option=com_ibin&task.

The specimens earlier placed under A. vulgaris from India are now mostly referable to A. dubia or A. nilagirica. Uploading A. dubia from Kashmir as per another thread by Singh ji.

I think it should be Artemisia dubia as per detailed comparative descriptions at Asteraceae Fortnight Part 2-Discoid heads:: Artemisia for ID SMP12

Thanks Garg Ji.

I think it is more likely to be A. indica (as per FoC illustration and description and distribution as per BSI Flora of India) rather than A.dubia (as per FoC illustration and description in Flora of China)
