Beautiful pictures. Thanks for sharing sir.

Brachycorythis splendida is supposed to have an obcordate labellum, I believe.

Also, in your set of photos there seem to be two different plants. 

Kindly check.

Looking at the pictures Brachycorythis wightii and Brachycorythis iantha come to mind.

Best regards

Ravee

Dear Pankaj, Sam sir

I too believe there are images of 2 Brachycorythis species shared.

From Kerala there are total 3 species recorded ( Orchids of Kerala - Orchid Memories 2004) Attaching the info from there for reference

Also attaching a good detailed description of B Iantha by Dr J Joseph in Orchids of Nilgiris
