Thanks Shantanu ji for the compliments.  Yes, it is commonly called Balsam.  In Marathi it is known as Therda. We use the flowers for puja. It has got nice fragrance also.

[Shantanu]

Oh yes Mani ji...we also use these flowers for pujas. The petals of
this flower are mixed with other petals (like Marigold) and sometimes
spread on the thaalis.
