Looks like a skink. Am sure the experts can validate. The solo water droplet looks nice. The blade of grass is a bit distracting. Thanks for sharing.

This might be a race of Eutropis macularia found in your region. They come in a huge variety of colours. Not quite sure of the skink diversity of Kerala though, would be better if you could cross check. More images of the whole body may also help.

Nice closeup. Good eye contact and composition. The sharpness looks better in the first image. Thanks for sharing.
