Please upload a picture with little more resolution. I mean when you
crop the picture or re size don't make the file size too small. larger
files enables us to zoom in and have a closer look at it.

Thanks and Regards
Giby

Dear Mr. Giby,
Here is a better picture.
Regards.
Yazdy Palia.

[Giby Kuriakose]

Thank you for the high resolution picture. 

I too think this could be Dendrophthoe falcata (Loranthaceae family), a widely distributed mistletoe.   

Regards,

Giby
