Might be Strobilanthes bheriensis (Shakya) J.R.I. Wood but inflorescence rather depauperate  it is often difficult to identify specimens with poorly developed inflorescence.

Regards

John Wood

It is difficult to be completely certain without a specimen but the form of growing, leaf shape and indumentum of the calyx looks right. However  Saroj's specimen has only one pair of flowers so not too easy to interpret. A well-developed inflorescence is important in identifying Strobilanthes. I attach an image of the type - there are very few collections of this species and more and better material is needed to be completely certain.

Best regards

John Wood
