Yes Pinalia mysorensis. Beautiful plant. Thanks a lot for sharing.

There is one more thing to see as you have already taken picture of pollinia on 5th image, the number of lobes.

Thank you … And …, yes! I observed the two sets of four lobed pollinia.

This is an Eria, now called Pinalia, but I cant make out the species. I need a pic of proper flower from front.

Its Eria spp. need clear pics of flowers

I think this is Eria mysorensis. Not easy to confirm with this pic, but the species is found in Karnataka.
