    If you are sure that deer and rabbits cannot get to it, then I would pin this down to some insect or caterpillar. This would be the most likely culprit.

    Fortunately for you, growers have developed dwarf jasmine varieties. If you do a Google search for dwarf jasmine + shopping, you'll see the options. Since varieties change so fast, I don't have an article that discusses dwarf jasmine. I found Dwarf Radicans Gardenia, a hybrid of Gardenia jasminoides and "Snow-N-Summer" Asiatic jasmine. Most Asiatic jasmine is short in height but spreads out. It is often used as a groundcover. I'm sure you'll find more options by searching for dwarf or compact.

    Night-blooming jasmine grows best in well-draining, sandy soil, preferably somewhere with a lot of space for its roots to spread out. It does well in partial to full sun but is sensitive to temperature extremes, so place it in a location filtered from intense sun.
    You should be able to grow!

    This is difficult to answer without photos or more information on growing conditions and your soil and water management.

    Is this a new planting or mature. Is this the first year that you have noticed the discoloration and leaf drop, or does it happen every year at this time.

    I suspect drought dormancy. In a tropical monsoon climate, this should be your dry season and beginning of the hot season. Some otherwise evergreen plants go dormant this time of year, especially if they are not watered adequately after the rainy season ends. I'm in Thailand and it happens here with some plants that are not irrigated.

    I have lived in Pondy where it is never cold, but I don't know Bangalore and if you may be in a hill station where you get a low temperature spell and cold dormancy. Chilean jasmine will go dormant if conditions are such.

    You know you have a great resource there with the Bangalore Horticultural University. You may be able to get local information through their extension program or ask for a referral to a landscape plant health care specialist.

    Yes, this does sound like, both, a spider mite infestation, and fungal. My method works for both, but you should treat immediately. If it takes over, then the soil will be contaminated beyond repair. This means that it will have to be thrown out, if new growth doesn't come out normal.

    Jasmine can be transplanted outdoors after all danger of frost has passed. Take 5-7 days to acclimate it to outdoor conditions (harden it off) before putting it in the ground. Water well and fertilize when evidence of new growth appears. Roots may take a few weeks to settle in before top growth resumes.
