Ur ID is perfect Chunxingwong.. I have provided the EOL link in which this spider's photo is available from an Indian region..:-)
I can suggest Opadometa fastigata, but that is only a suggestion, I'm not 100% sure. This species is present in India.
I feel its a Argiope...... Like to know why its web is soaked... raining or dew..?
@AshishNimkar.. It was less than 1 inch bro.. Found this in early winter morning..:-)
Sumukh... How big it is if compared with something...? I feel its a king of Golden Orb weaver if bigger than 2" in length of legs. If smaller it may be a Signature spider.
What a fantastic shot ~ really beautiful!
