Very nice close ups, ...
Oh... I would say Oberonia brunoniana. But its hard to ID without proper closeup of flower. There are many more species from this section in Karnataka and more are being described.
Thanks ..., for your inputs.. I agree with you.The Oberonias of the South are enigmatic.....! I have many more specimen that are unidentified and I look forward to your expert opinion. I will be uploading them shortly..... and the constraint is that Oberonias are highly perched and getting their close up is rather difficult... Any way I will try to meet your requirements.

All my IDs for your Oberonias are tentative. As flowers are smaller and I cant see many characters.
I would say this is a big plant with really thick floral stalk which is sheathed by inflated vegetative leaf or fertile leaf, the bracts as I see at the base of some flowers looks like have dentate margin, not so big gap between front lobules of the mid lobe, hence this could be Oberonia brunoniana.
