Thank you Mr. Kasaju, it is a very close match to the specimen identified here -https://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Dominy%27s%20Calanthe.html as Calanthe ×dominyi. And the location is actually the same.

Very confusing.

I have seen these flowers from India and Sri Lanka.

This is not sylvatica or masuca. This is not perrottetii. This is so close to mindorensis but doesnt really match completely. I would have been thinking if this is C. x dominyi which is so far not officially reported from India. Its a natural hybrid.
