Help identifying winged, moth-like creature
I'm quite certain that this is an owlet moth that belongs to the species Asota caricae. It has the nickname "Tiger Moth", and is commonly found in the tropics of India. 

I would like to note though that your first picture is somewhat misleading, just from where the flash washes the color so much. Because of this, I decided to more heavily rely on the second image than the first, which exhibits orange instead of yellow.
