Dear Smita mam
Can you tell us the size of the plant? Please also share a pic of complete plant if possible. What is the elevation of Amboli? above 900m?
Jeewan, this is not brachyphylla as there are no front lobes in the labellum.
This is clsoe to Oberonia pachyphylla but the front lobe in pachyphylla has smooth margin, this has denticulate.
If I have to guess, this plant is very close to Oberonia proudlockii which is reported from Karnataka and is endemic to western ghats.
You can try to take more closeups using a magnifying lens in front of your normal lens.
This is very interesting indeed.
Best regards
Pankaj

Dear Smita
This is one of the best things I have seen in the past one week.
This is Oberonia proudlockii. You dont get to see this species on google.
Thanks for sharing.
Pankaj
