Image of Thingam ji at Lantana involucrata in FOI are different Lantana involucrata as per

I have doubts if Lantana involucrata is found in India as per details at Lantana

I think it may be Lantana camara subsp. aculeata or Lantana indica, but difficult to determine from this image.
Side view of the inflorescence is required for id as per keys in Flora of Pakistan
Pl. correct.

I think you are right Garg ji. This may be a white cultivar of Lantana camara. Its leaves are pointed or blunt, similar to Lantana camara, and not rounded like Lantana involucrata. This was photographed in cultivation, so no question of it being wild at all. Thanks for this important correction.
