Thank you so much bayucca,Ashish ,Anjali and Cherrey for your efforts in the id process.... i think ill go with the Amata cyssea suggestion ...thanks again :)
Hmm... It is not Amatea phegea and I think this one is not Syntomoides imaon, which I didn't notice before, I was just looking at the Amata suggestions. In addition I think the ID on of Imaon on Wiki is also not correct:

I think the one on Wiki is also Amata cyssea.
Looking at several Imaons the spots are all larger and in another order. I think this link is trustable (even more on Wiki, sometimes one has to be sceptic about IDs on Wiki):

This is also trustable, John is an expert:

So, that's what Imaon is looking like.
Doc, I apologize, but you might check the links and suggestions again.
I think this one is Amata cyssea! What do you think??
Its a pity this specie cyssea not included on this page....

Amata phegea is from Europe and eastern part to Transkaukasia, but not India. According to the link and the suggestion from Anjali I would alsosay it is Amata cyssea:

This assuming the ID of the link is correct, what it seems to be.
