Flower appears to have fallen from some other plant.

Can it be Operculina petaloidea ? as per

Thanks, Lalithamba ji.

I initially thought of it, but somehow did not pursue further. 

Both are closely related as per keys from Flora of China:

16 (15)	Stems terete or striate, not winged; fruit a 4-valved capsule or shattering irregularly		12 Merremia
+	Stems (and often petioles, peduncles) winged; fruit with a thickened circumscissile lid that separates from ± papery and tardily shattering endocarp		14 Operculina

Yes, you may be right. 

FOPI shows distribution of the following in Odisha.
