TICKS on ROCK LIZARD

Click on the image to enlarge. You can see that there are a lot of large blue coloured ticks hanging on to the body of the lizard, especially near the eardrum.  This photo is from the Askote Wildlife Sanctuary in the Himalayas in the state of Uttarakhand, India. It is a rock Agama, probably Laudackia tuberculata. Kindly properly identify both the lizard and the tick species if anybody could.
