Dear Tanay ji, Amol ji,

Spherical  flowers of this aquatic herb  resemble close to Eriocaulon sedgewickii. 

As you said, even these  sedgewickii's grow on rock tops - on the wet clay/sand mixture  close  to the standing rain waters.

PS:  It would have been better, if I had a close up picture of the flower.

Thanks a lot 

Raghu

... it does look to be Eriocaulon sedgewickii.
Friends knowing Eriocaulon species, would be able to validate.
