This glandular-hirsute herb was recorded last week (21.3.18) from Panipat..
I hope it is Blumea sp., the head looked very attractive to me, unlikely of all the previous sightings, your opinion please…..!!
Please check for Erigeron sublyratus also. 
Thanks …, I think your suggestion is right.. Erigeron did come to my mind..

Erigeron sublyratus DC. (=E.asteroides Roxb.) is an uncommon small herb in Pantnagar.
Unlike others this species produce three different types of florets in flower head.
Here photographed in Pantnagar, Uttarakhand.

Thank you very very much for the ID of this beautiful wild herb.

Hooghly Today : erigeron? inula? some others? : Attachments (12). 3 posts by 2 authors.
This is a hairy 2.5 ft annual, found on roadside.

Erigeron sublyratus as per another thread.

Inula is excluded because in subtribe including Aster and Erigeron, ray florets are never yellow, whereas in one including Inula ray florets are yellow.
Thank you Sir. I also noticed, at the time of this upload, that there was no yellow Inula pic in the net.
