Looks like Dendrocalamus strictus. Please upload photo of full clump and back of culm sheath if possible.

Dear Garg Ji.

I have asked the bamboo expert, Prof Elizabeth A Widjaja.  She said that the main parts for identification is the presence or absence of an auricle.  When she saw the spines, she thought that they were Bambusa bambos.  But she is not sure.

Yes, If those are strong spines, then it could be Bambusa bambos. But need to be confirmed whether they are growing buds or strong spines. But I couldn't find any auricles on the smaller culm sheaths at the axils. But one needs to check the culm sheaths on the main culm. If Dr.Satish could recall whether it was thorny or not. Another aspect is the glaucous nature of young shoot (bluish powder) which is usually found in Dendrocalamus, but there could be variations as well. Anyway, a photo of the whole plant and culm sheath would help confirm the species.

I think with insufficient details it may not be possible to get correct identification.I will try to get more photos of bamboos in future.
