User's notes

One of the yellow category of butterflies, possibly the Large Grass Yellow (Eurema hecabe). Despite there being a pair of them (photo 4), I didn’t get to see the upper surfaces of their wings properly, but some of the inside patterning was discernible from the outside (especially in photos 1 & 2).
