Thank you very much
Hedychium rubrum is confirmed.

Pl check for Hedychium coccineum (a variety) 

To me also appear close to images at http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Red%20Ginger%20Lily.html rather than images at Hedychium coccineum
Hedychium deceptum 
For me it (photograph sent by …) does not match the photographs of Hedychium deceptum.
Hedychium rubrum A.S.Rao & D.M.Verma is a syn. of Hedychium deceptum N.E.Br., Gard. Chron., ser. 3, 71: 209 (1922).
