Thomisus spectabilis
Beautiful and unique crab spider SisirBanga! Richard - thank you for noticing the geographic difference, which I overlooked.
Thomisus telanganaensis has so far been recorded only in southern India with no records as yet in northern India. so this is more likely Thomisus spectabilis which has been recorded from all over the Indian continent.!
