Ariadne merione
Orangish colour. Dorsal and ventral sides look totally different. When wings are open there is a prominent white dot on each wing.
Rajarhaat area which is a suburb of Kolkata ...an area under development. There still are patches of weedy vegetation, waterbodies, tall grass and reeds ...for how much longer is the question.
This butterfly is common...I see it near my home too.

Ah thank you for the confirmation
Yes. I put the word mating in brackets against the common name too.
Is this a mating pair?
