Thanks so much Nuwan for the ID!
Gautam, I didn't see this moth's underwing, but the same day I saw another moth close by - dead with open wings and it indeed had that bright orange underwing.
Fruit Piercing Moth (Eudocima sp.) i think
not sure which species.

Did it have a bright orange signal on the underside?
