When I was young, I thought moths were just a nuisance insect that would eat holes in your wool clothing. Now I often think they are more beautiful than the butterflies! This is a cool example of how attractive they can be!
This specimen looks a little different than most Pangora Matherana. Could it be Pangora coorgensis, though there are no pictures that I can find, but there is a wikipedia page on this species. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pangora_co...

Great find, found one of these last time I went to India.
Nice spotting Sunny. These moths only feed only on lichens, which I find very interesting :-)
