I think it is a Rhinoceros Beetle, Ravi, though I have never seen or shot one myself. At least that single long horn suggests it. Could be a starting point for you.
You have captured this insect very well on the trunk of a tree. The POV is very good and the focus is quite ok. The colours are wonderful.
Thanks for sharing the image.
