Thanks Vijay sir, Yes you may call it an Epiphytic Jewel Orchid due to
the ornamentation. But usually JEWEL ORCHIDS are terrestrials ones.
This is Porpax, Orchidaceae. Need to see the flower to identify the species.

P. jerdoniana from the ornamentation on leaves, but of course flowers
hold the key. Regards, Shrikant
