Nice pictures ... It looks like Senna montana (= Cassia montana) to me.

Cassia spp id please: photo taken in Devarayanadurga Forest, 60km from Bangalore.
Could it be Cassia montana ? 
Most probably the ID is right. Earlier I reported Cassia montana (identified by ...) from Karivaradarajaswamy betta near Chamarajanagara. Please compare the characters for confirmation
