  Not seen before it is, but it is a Pied Paddy Skimmer (Neurothemis tullia), but not the only one posted today...
  
  Although having a similar pattern of the wings, the Widow Skimmer (Libellula luctuosa) is an American species with a steely blue body.
  Here's again a link to the book about Indian dragonflies
