I am afraid Miss Mohina this does not appear to be R. fulgens, R. fulgens has shaggy (light brown) hair  on the underside of leaves. [This does not appear in few leaves that show underside (?)]

Sincerely,
Eapsa

Dear Garg Sir,

Just out of curiosity i wanted to know what is Rhododendron ? What i learned -

• extensively hybridized, including natural hybrids... 28,000 cultivars - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhododendron#Hybrids
• id key of three species - http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=316413
• id key of R. fulgens - http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=242343896
• though the above site describes "... abaxial surface densely fulvous woolly.." yet pics found, i think, matches this post - http://www.esveld.nl/htmldiaen/r/rhfulg.php
• yet another - http://asperupgaard.dk/garden/plantegrupper/rhododendron/rhododendron_fulgens/slides/24-05-05kodak_170.html
• one more - http://www.dungevalley.co.uk/Makalu%20and%20Everest/05_Rhododendron_Fulgens_web.jpg sourced from - http://www.dungevalley.co.uk/nepal%20makalu%20&%20everest.htm
• bud found - http://hirsutum.info/rhododendron/species/detail.php?id=449
• very short description - http://www.rhododendron.org/descriptionS_taxon.asp?ID=76
• various species - http://www.rhododendron.dk/!ff.html
