Dear Arif ji, I have never seen this butterfly, or photograph, but taking hint from Monsoon, I did some exploration and it looks like Nonsuch Palmer Creteus cyrina Hewitson, 1876. Only reference picture I could find was a plate in JBNHS volume IV (1889). I am not sure if someone has photographed it in recent years in India. Experts may shed some light on this. Congratulation on this rare find.
