Hi Dhirendra! This butterfly belongs to the subfamily Satyrinae, tribe Satyrini, Genus Ypthima. There are many species in your area but I'm not sufficiently familiar with them to suggest a specific one. Identification depends, among other features, on the number and shape of rings on each wing. I hope someone else can help further :-)
