Thanks Dinesh ji and Garg ji ​I thought of Nervilia Dinesh but it is group of four leaves 

while Nervilia always has single leaf 

Guru said it can be sprout of some sterculian, i will check when i will visit again

Nirvelia sp

[Jui Pethe]

Possibly N.plicata

[J.M. Garg]

A reply:

"Leaves in images are very young or can say just opening from buds, more close to some Begonia species. 

Since leaves are immature but covered with stout hairs along veins and seems to be entire along margins in second image chances of Begonia integrifolia Dalzell are higher.
Kind regards,
Varun"

Thanks, Varun ji.

This is not a very good quality image of Nirvelia plicata from Satish Pande, Mandar Datar's book on WIld Orchids of Northern Western Ghats

The conspicuous fan like leaf is a characteristic of Nirvelia sp and the placement of leaf on the forest floor is identical to Nirvelia only.

Never seen Begonia integrifolia with so many folds.

thanks and regards

 But Nervilia always produces single leaf, it is characteristic of genus

 in a picture there are about 4 leaves in group arising from single axis  so confusion

anyways i will visit the place again and take more pictures

Leaf 1, broadly ovate to cordate, long petiolate; ovary and sepals glabrous ​                                   ​ .66 Nervilia (p. 197)

Thanks

True smita ji,
I think revisiting would be the best way to clarify...👍
