Beautiful pictures!
But it doesn't look like C. gynandra to me. It may be C. speciosa (the accepted name is Cleoserrata speciosa as per TPL).

I think this species is not Cleoserrata speciosa . It is  Cleome houtteana Schltdl  (=Cleome hassleriana Chodat)  . Presence of  one pair of stipular spine at the base of each petiole of the leaf and  spines in the midrib of abaxial surface of leaflets is prominent ; flower pink to whitish in colour (after examination of the species). In Assamese it is known as  Siyalkatahiya. So please validate.

No it is 
https://efloraofindia.com/2011/02/16/cleome-speciosa/ only.

As per efi thread :

Stamen colour purple in Tarenaya hassleriana & green in Cleoserrata speciosa
Stamens are inserted together in a club-like stub above the bottom in Tarenaya hassleriana, while these are inserted in the bottom in Cleoserrata speciosa.
