Hi Vostok -welcome to Wild about the World  .
That is a most interesting looking turtle, I don't know what it is, but will see if I can find out (I shall do my best but no promises!). Hopefully though, someone else will come in with an answer for you, Black has spent time in India and might know!

It is Lissemys punctata, a common species throughout south east Asia and India. They are quite variable in colour. Its a female too.

These are all Trachemys scripta elegans, when they get older they tend to become darker loosing the distinctive "red ear", especially the males (like the specimen at the front right).
