Prashantji,  please check if  this plant is a large liana  ?

Cissus nodosa is described as "thousand roots" plant  or Javanese tree-bine, and flowers of C.nodosa are described as red/ purple. As seen  from various other images, petioles also have a reddish tinge.  

Otherwise you may also check against Cissus repens (Lam) ::

http://www.iiim.res.in/herbarium/vitaceae/cissus_repens.htm

“weak trailing plant”  ( Flora of Bombay presidency )  , and

These two species appear to be closely related, although  plantlist shows these as separately accepted names.

Garg ji

The stem is very tall, about 30 ft or more?

Pillared look is very unique, like C nodosa, but that species not being reported from India

C. latifolia, could be a match.  But cannot see 'fringed calyx' described by K Sasidharan on Kerala plants. He may be able to confirm

Thanks
