Tung, Maharashtra.
Points in favor are:
1. The petiole / petiolule is winged.
2. Leaves ternate-pinnate (c/f H. grande)

Accepted name currently is Tetrataenium aquilegifolium (C.B.Clarke) Manden.

Note this genus is often circumscribed as Heracleum sect. Tetrataenium DC., but see Logacheva et al, 2010.
