Madhuri ji, you need not be a botanist to fill up the format beyond
headings. There are no type/attachment/size/surface of leaves or
colour and size of flowers, yet I would say this is Talinum of
Portulacaceae. Interesting thing about this plant is that the flowers
open only at 2 pm and wither by 4 pm. You can call these as 'siesta
flowers'. Regards, Shrikant

Shrikant ji has Id'd this plant as

This should be Talinum portulacifolium (Forssk.) Asch. ex Schweinf. of Talinaceae family.

Many many thanks Shrikant ji for the Id and your help.
