Thanks Harsh, this is indeed a 4-8-2+2-8-4 Garratt! You will also be glad to know that I had the opportunity to meet the authorities there, who are very keen in restoring this loco to it's former shape and glory. Within a day or two I shall send them a picture of a similar war department Garratt loco from Burma, showing them the original fittings.

This is Bengal Assam Railway's metre gauge Bayer Garratt locomotive GX 32086 (BP 7144). For years (decades) it has been spotted rusting away at Guwahati and it has been recently moved to Tinsukia for preservation. It is the only known metre gauge Garratt locomotve in existence. Great work Rahul! Perhaps you can ask the powers to be to scrape, clean and paint the works plate in a different colour. Also, they should research and paint the locomotive in its original colour which this one seems unlikely to be.

It certainly looks like a Beyer Garrett but it looks as if it is standing on narrow gauge tracks so my guess is one of the two Nepal Government Railway locomotives 'Mahabir' or 'Sitaram' on the Jaynagar line.

This is the Bayer- Garratt articulated locomotive of the B and N Railway.

Could be Ajanta caves http://www.shunya.net/Pictures/South%20India/Ajanta/Ajanta14.jpg
As for the falls, could be anywhere, hard to make an educated guess.

@Dr Mulky: True! Could you please help in identifying the location of the caves at the right and the waterfall at the bottom?
