Nice patterns. Looks like Indian Owl Moth. Experts please confirm the id. Thanks for sharing.
The patterns are very distinct. Looks like an owl moth. Thanks for sharing.
It looks like an Owlet Moth (Spirama retorta) to me. Not sure if this species occurs in Chennai, so better if you could get it confirmed. Try cross-checking the ID from other sources.

Thanks Abhishek. It certainly appears to be an Owlet Moth (Spirama retorta). As to whether the species occurs in Chennai?-----------? Will have a go at it in a while & come back. Difficult to find an exact match.
