This is Curcuma pseudomontana which is similar to the ones seen in the high-altitude grasslands of Kerala. The species posted by Dr. Neil Soares from his property though, I believe is another species - a more robust plant that grows in shade and exists as a hybrid continuum with Curcuma inodora which is centred around Karwar, Goa and Sindhdurg. The darkest purple flowers of Curcuma inodora are found in the latter locations with suffusion of yellow as you move northwards with the yellowest flowers seen towards northern Maharashtra. The flowers with the most yellow also have robust inflorescence compared to the flowers found in Goa. I have only visited Goa and Sindhdurg and therefore my observations may be wrong and are open to discussion. A molecular study which includes C.pseudomontana, C.inodora (blue flower, southern limit of range), Unknown sp. (yellow flower, northern limit of range) and C.inodora (blue-yellow flower, central Maharashtra) should clear the existing confusion. I am attaching a collage which I made with pictures from this group I saved at various times and therefore don't remember the photographers.  Kindly forgive me for not posting picture credits. 

Best regards
