It is not an orchid, ginger family member. I don't have idea about the genus.

"Dear Garg
The Plant belongs to Zingiberaceae for sure. No Orchid at all. Since
resolution of picture is very low, i am not able to see details of
flower by zooming it. I am suggesting two genera to which it may
belong Alpinia or Cautleya as appear by habit and flowering pattern." from Durgesh Verma ji.

"It is Cautleya sp.of Zingiberaceae. Any photos of flowers available?

Thanks for reading this mail.

I think it should be C. spicata as per keys at Taxonomic revision of the genus Cautleya (Zingiberaceae) in India with a description of a new variety (pdf)- Kizhakkethil AISHWARYA , Mamiyil SABU- Taiwania 66(1): 79‒88, 2021
