Sorry about the quality of the snap, this beautiful and fast dragonfly - Ictinogomphus rapax - was snapped thru my binoculars near the Vihar Lake inside SGNP, Mumbai
The male and female of this species shows a lot of variation. The below snap is of a female - Diplacodes trivialis
This Crocothemis servillia from Powai, I have another angle of this same species posted earlier - showing the black line on it's back clearly.
The Bradinophyga geminata is usually found (like in this snap) on rock surfaces and on the ground, where it becomes difficult to spot them quickly.
This Brachydiplax chalybea from home in Calicut
This Ischnura senegalensis was clicked at home in Calicut.

This Lestes (Spreadwing) from Phansad Wildlife Sanctuary in Maharashtra
This species -'Orthetrum-triangularis'- was quiet common @ Kasauli
