Silken threads of a spider web, Bhagyashri ji .. just to give an idea of

4 petals, single fringed gland suggests Swertia alata, but leaves seem to be narrower.

Sir,
The leaves of this one at the base are 4 cms long and 3 cms wide.. Does
that fit the description of S. alata...

I think that should be alright

They are usually ovate-cordate, 3-7 nerved.

Alok ji

THis one should be Swertia angustifolia, which  has narrower leaves and darker dots on corolla.
