Here is an interesting Paper with more details of its characters and distribution

may be this can help.
I think it is Achyranthes coynei Santapau of Amaranthaceae family.
A habit picture of the plant would complete the set in this thread and would give clarity for the species.
pls give full information about the pic.. Achyranthes coynei has big flowering spike and leave margin purple,, though the picture here may be A. coynei Yes I agree with … Achyranthes coynei is rather a big brother of A. aspera with much larger plant often reaching 3.5 m tall, much longer spike 35-60 cm long, larger flowers reaching 2 cm in diam. when fully open. Pink flowered plants are also found in Western Himalayas, but these clearly belong to A. bidentata. Above plant needs to to be critically examined as leaves from texture (whatever visible) look like A aspera and not A. bidentata.
