The frogs are called Indian bullfrog. Also, there is a cool reason behind why they appear yellow. As per the officer, the male bullfrogs, actually change their colour during the mating season to attract female frogs. Well, that is cliche.

Had become almost extinct due to hunting for skin. Used for children toys DUGDUGI. loss of ponds and tanks, and green pasture with edible insects.
Population now slowly picking up,
My grandma told me that they live under soil in hibernation during dry season and during rain they come on surface. Due to living inside soil they become yellow. Don't know if she was right or she had this knowledge was passed from her grandmother??
