Anjali, I guess you are right. On searching: http://www.butterfliesofindia.com I found Parrhassius Small Cupid (Chilades Parrhassius Parrhassius). Thanks a lot for the help Anjali, Auntnance and Matinl.
Anjali, onsearching for small cupid I got Chilades contracta, not Chilades Parrhassius.
Tanks Martin and Auntnance. Will check and rectify.
I think martini is on the right track, if not correct alltogether.
A butterfly, family=Lycaenidae, (Blues and coppers) Possibly the Two spotted line blue.
