As you can see in your screenshot (under Global Status), you have Fixed Frame set to map, but there is no such (TF) frame.

Set if to something else and you'll probably see your robot.

I tried changing the frame to "base" which is in transform but that doesn't help, refer the result here

I'm pretty sure it was there before, but you don't have an instance of the Robot Model display plugin there. Without that, RViz will not have anything to show you other than that grid you're seeing right now ..

Where have i gone wrong. How to fix this, should i do any changes in my URDF file?

No, just add the Robot Model display plugin to your RViz. Click Add, scroll down to where it says Robot Model, then add it. Your robot should appear.
