With those big median eyes, you are right it is definitely a Jumping Spider in the family Salticidae.

Yes, very unusual colour in spiders. It has a pattern of light and dark markings that look typical but a fairly even pink colour overall, which is not common. I wonder if it might be infected with a fungus that is causing an unusual appearance.

definitely something strange going on here, call me cynical but I feel the image has been altered.
I’ve never seen or heard of a pink jumping spider from India, the ID groups available do not mention any pink jumping spiders…

There’s a patch on the abdomen where it’s natural color is visible next to it’s rear leg (leg IV). It looks like it got paint on it or something.
