Thanks, Usha di. I am quite sure of this ID.
Pavonia spp. flowers do look like those of Hibiscus lobatus, BUT the buds, calyx, epicalyx differ.
Leaves of the posted plant are relatively distant from the blooming flower.
I will not dare to get into middle of those plants for sake of leaves - paranoid of leeches.
Regards.
Dinesh

Agree with Dinesh ji.  A common plant in Coorg & Mysore districts occuring in wastelands.

Gargji has a case
flower petal markings are similar
petal shape may be not fully discernible, because flower in that pic from Gargji is not fully open.
(on this page of our website: Gargji's case is the earliest, and hence on top of the page.)

but he does show the leaves i was expecting.

Ushadi

This flower is not Hibiscus lobatus , Dinesh sir . 
Flower in its first glance made me think . 
I checked my collection and then I say ...
Shape of petal , calyx ( or epicalyx ) , anther column , and fruit much longer than calyx / epicalyx ...all say it is not H. lobatus . 
Stigma not long-trifid goes against Hibiscus hirtus . 
Similarly I can rule out H. obtusilobus , since I am familiar with the species . 
Flower looks much closer to Pavonia zeylanica once I had in Surat , sadly not seen a single plant  for last 3 years ...
A Pavonia sp. wd be my guess .

Thank you very much Garg ji, Usha di for validation.

Rakesh ji, I am sure my plant is Hibiscus lobatus.
Pavonia zeylanica has those tell-tale sepal-like bracts, filament-like, hairy ... can be seen in any of the posts in eFI or at FoI.

Regards.
Dinesh
