    Could someone please help me identify this plant/fruit? I saw it growing on an old mango tree in Chintamoni Kar Bird Sanctuary. Must be some parasitic plant?

    Thanks Chitrita. Indeed the light was unique and infact because of that light I could spot the fruits. However, the light was constantly going up and down - making the fruits bright and dim, much like a stage actor with professional light man going berserk with the controls.
    Meanwhile, someone helped me ID the plant. It's Tinospora Cordifolia; Bengali Name: Gulancha; Hindi Name: Amrit. It has medicinal properties and is effective against diseases like chickungunia.
    Thanks for your nice words
