Yes, that's right, it is not an orchid but a fern of Polypodiaceae, Platycerium bifurcatum.  It is Australasian, not native to India but commonly cultivated, also commonly sold in garden centres in Europe.  I have it growing outside here in Portugal (as there is no frost where we live not far from Lisbon).

Platycerium species are rather strange looking, with their backing leaves and main leaves.

  

One species, P. wallichii is native to India in Manipur (falsely reported also from SAssam State), which is commoner in Myanmar, and is even stranger looking. Dr. Mao (Botanical Survey of India) managed to introduce it successfully to the superb BSI orchid garden at Shillong, Meghalaya, where it now grows happily on several trees there.

Best wishes,

Chris Fraser Jenkins.
