… , nice shot. But regarding species ID, I think it is Musa aurantiaca Baker, M. sikkimensis is entirely different one.
Thanks for your comments! I may be wrong but my plant also not completely matching with the description of M. aurantiaca. There are differences in habit, leaf characters, petiole size, inflorescence characters and bracts. Attaching a PDF and some more pictures for your kind perusal. Hope we can find its correct identity. Attachments (1)- Musa.pdf
It is Musa aurantica for sure.
I got the confirmation from Prof. M. Sabu (Presently revising the family Musaceae in India)
It is M. aurantiaca
