You should Check with nearby nursery for saplings. Growing them from the seed will be very difficult. They want cool temp maybe if you put them in partial shade . 4 hrs of sunlite will be more than enough in chennai . And do not overwater there stems start to rot if not otherwise.

@usha, yours seems to be Ruellia, general name Desert Petunia.
I have the baby pink color and it is very easy to grow.
