Thank you Green Nature for the suggestion, and congratulations for the web-site. What a photography! Wonderful and thank you for the invitation.

Sure does look like your basic Eristalis species. Drone fly or hover fly is a common name for them in North America, although I do not know what the common name for them might be in India. They are one of the most common flower flies around the world. http://greennature.com/article499.html
