Leonurus cardiaca is not native to India, so it is highly unlike that it is found at a remote place like GHNP. This may be Leonurus royleanus, a native of Western Himalaya.
Leonurus pubescens Benth.
Images at Pla@ntNet and at the Chinese site https://ppbc.iplant.cn/sp/292419 are correctly identified. Leonurus cardiaca leaves are not just toothed, they are deeply lobed.
Images at indiaflora site are misidentified
Have a look at this paper for the correct identity of Leonurus pubescens:

This I have already seen before sending the mail.
I am also not sure. As such I have sent the related links for further analysis.
This is also L. royleanus, thicker velvety leaves

Leonurus cardiaca (Family: Lamiaceae) — along Govindghat-Ghangaria trail.
I think yes except 2353
Yes rightly pointed out by ……2353 should be Lamium album…nice pics
Having relook on FBI, L. cardiaca (Leaves cordate-ovate, lacerate, pubesnt beneath),is not actually recorded from India. WE have in India var. pubescens Benth. , now known as Leonurus pubescens Benth. in N.Wallich, Pl. Asiat. Rar. 1: 63 (1830) (leaves finely pubescent. elliptic-lanceolate, coarsely serrate found Kashmir Eastwards to Kumaon) var royleana Benth, now known as L. royleanus Benth ( leaves ovate lanceolate, rhomboid or orbicular, base rounded or cordate, pinnatifidly cut, white tomentose . found Kashmir Westwards to Sind)
I have uploaded L. cardiaca L. from Canada and California
