I think not Ageratum at all, the leaves are alternate. The plants are not well focussed but shape of leaves and heads suggest Vernonia cinerea.

Thank you so much Gurcharanji. You are simply great. After reading about it on the net I found this link and to my surprise a similar butterfly that I found on the flowers was photographed here too. Thank you for the Id .
