Thanks, Laura , namitha,and Alice.
Hi Hema, this is a very beautiful spotting. I also think it is a Brahminy skink, there are a lot of them around our house, in our garden.
Beautiful photo, Hema! I will third a skink of some variety, I don't really know the species you find in India though. Had a look, and I think I trust Satyen's suggestion of Brahminy skink! Nice :D
Nice, I agree with Skink.
Thanks Satyen. That is what I thought too.
Beautiful! Maybe a Brahminy Skink?
