Dear Sir,
Found and photographed this wild flower near Sinthan Top, J&K Aug 2021. Please confirm whether it is a Delphinium vestitum (Hairy Delphinium) or any other Delphinium sp.

Dear Sir,
But the flowers of Delphinium cashmerianum is clustered in flat-top end with flowers of opposite facing and the color is bluish-purple . But for Delphinium vestitum, flowers are of same side facing or irregular facing and the color is dull purple to blue. That is why I am going with Delphinium vestitum. Description is taken from www.flowersofindia.net. Please let me know.

Regards,
Subhasis Roy

Dear Sir,
Considering the presence of hair in petal and leaf and the shape of leaf , I think it may be Delphinium vestitum. Waiting for your view.

Pl. see the flower arrangement and buds (which I think is important here) at 
https://efloraofindia.com/2012/11/10/delphinium-pyramidale/
The presence of hair in petal and leaf is also seen at images at
https://efloraofindia.com/2012/11/10/delphinium-pyramidale/
Yes, shape of the leaf is a bit different as lower most leaves are hardly seen at 
https://efloraofindia.com/2012/11/10/delphinium-pyramidale/

Flora of Pakistan states:
Plant 60-120 cm high, stem stout, glabrous or villous. Petioles of lower leaves upto 40 cm long, glabrous or villous, blades rounded to pentagonal, 6-12 cm wide, glabrous to subtomentose or villous along the veins beneath, 3-5 parted for 2/3 to 4/5 of length into broadly cuneate, cleft or incised serrate segments, ultimate lobes ovate to lanceolate, 2-7 mm wide, mucronate. Upper leaves with shorter petioles, bract-like, lanceolate to ovate-lanceolate, upto 15 mm long. 
I think description matches quite well. 

So I will go for

Dear Sir,
Thank you so much for such a wonderful discussion with providing so many beautiful images to differentiate the species. I am getting so much knowledge from this group. I am also going with Delphinium pyramidale.
