Hi SuvashKBarman! This is a not a moth, but a skipper butterfly (family Hesperiidae). You can tell as skippers have hooked antennae endings, while "typical" butterflies have club-like tips to their antennae, and most moths have comb-like or feathery antennae. Skippers also generally have stocky bodies and large eyes.
