The ID is correct.  it is the state flower of Tamil Nadu.  Seen this in several places.   Very useful medicinal plant. Glory lily is cultivated in Tamil Nadu mainly in the western parts viz., Mulanur, Dharapuram of Tirupur district, Oddanchatram and Ambilikai of Dindigul.

Thank you Mahadeswara Ji for the information. However, I guess this is a poisonous plant.

Yes Saroj ji.   Overdose is toxic due to  to the presence of colchicine  in all plant parts.  
The medicinal products from Gloriosa should be taken under the guidance of doctors.
