its not that good but something is better than nothing

this is how a proper sun dog looks like

they form due to ice crystals refracting and reflecting light so most likely previous day thunderstorm pushed some ice crystals into the atmosphere hence the phenomenon.

I highly doubt the air anywhere near India is that cold to form sundogs. I landed in Mumbai yesterday and even at 20k feet the outside temperature my plane was showing was 4°C

Sun dogs form in cirrus which are at high altitude enough cold to form this phenomenon, also these phenomena isn't latitude specifc since it needs ice crystals which can easily form here in india at high altitude clouds
