Yes, I'm sure this is Orchid, maybe some Cymbidium sp. :)

Hi Jopy, I also think it is not an Iris. Some kind of Orchid.

Hello SukanyaDatta, I also think it is not Iris. I have gone through your given link. The flowers in the link do not match with this flower. I believe this is some kind of Orchid. As Jopy said.

Hello, SukanyaDatta! This is not iris, it is some Orchidaceae species...
