A native creeper. Favourite of people in UP-Bihar-Bengal where it is known as Madhumalati. Fragrant flowers. At my place in Gwalior. Today.

What I can make out is that Q. indica is more vigorous climber, with larger flowers (7cm as against 5 cm of Q. Densiflora). Then densiflora is more in the nature of clusters.
Experts may opine.

Ok I will ask one question?
HOW DENSE IS THE DENSIFLORA :P
Names are often kept in comparison with some other allied species,
hence it creates confusion!!!
To me this plant looks like Combretum indicum, which is the accepted
name for Quisqualis indica. But yes, I dont know much about
densiflora!!

To me Pankaj seems right. It is Quisqualis indica (I could not find the source which treats Combretum indicum as accepted name). The key in Flora of China differentiates the two species as:

1a. Calyx tube 5–9 cm; petals 10–24 mm, opening white, later turning yellowish abaxially and reddish adaxially;
inflorescence lax; petiole without an inflated joint near base ........................................................................................... 1. Q. indica
1b. Calyx tube 1.7–2.4 cm; petals ca. 3.5 mm, opening dark red or reddish; inflorescence dense; petiole with an inflated
joint near base ................................................................................................................................................................. 2. Q. conferta
According to Flora of China Q. densiflora Wall ex Miq. is the synonym of Q. conferta (Jacq.)Excell.
The calyx tube (hypanthium) in above photographs is clearly much longer, and at least one flower with white petals can be seen, in others, the outer side of petals is much lighter as in Q. indica.
