Yes, it is Hygrophila corymbosa, dear Saroj ji, thank you very much for ID my plant.  It may be an aquarium escaped.

With kind regards,

Sam Kuzhalanattu.

India

 and other parts of Southeast Asia. It is widely used in Indian aquascaping as a background or midground plant due to its ability to create dense, lush foliage.
