thank you Ashish, bayucca and Sukaina. :)
and thank you bayucca for the information provided.
nice close up!
It is most probably Rhamni. Farinosa is a typical mediterranean to syroturcian species with some rare and not systematic reports from central Asia but no reports from India. It is possible that you might find Farinosa in India but not very likely.
Stunning.... Great capture...
