    Also standby side is not in open state, it's in mount state.

    What did you discover when you googled 'RMAN -20001: target database not found in recovery catalog'

    Use sqlplus to connect to the catalog database as the catalog owner, and issue

    select name, 
      db_key,
      dbid
from rc_database
order by name;

    There are is table with rc_database found in primary side and standby side both.

    What do you mean "found in primary side and standby side both"?

    rc_database is a view within the recovery catalog. It lists all of the databases that are registered in the catalog. Your error "RMAN -20001: target database not found in recovery catalog" means that the 'target database' (whichever one that is) is not registered in the catalog, so would not be listed in RC_DATABASE.

    So I see a few possibilities.

    1) you misunderstand the meaning of 'target database'. Unfortunately, oracle's terminology here is a bit mis-leading. Most of us tend to think of 'target' as synonomous with 'destination'. But that is not how oracle uses the term in relation to rman.

    2) you have multiple rman catalog databases (bad idea) and you are connecting to the wrong one.

    The rc_% views exist in your catalogue database, not in the target database.

    It looks to me as though you haven't registered the db_unique_name of your standby. Did you do that, with the CONFIGURE DB_UNIQUE_NAME command? What does LIST DB_UNIQUE_NAME ALL tell you?

    As I said previously, "Use sqlplus to connect to the catalog database as the catalog owner, and issue"

    And in my follow-up from there, I explained that you should only have one catalog database, not one for each node, not one for each application database. The rman catalog is an application schema, fundamentally no different than any other application schema - just that 'rman' is the application that uses it. It should reside in a database of its own. It should not reside in a database that it is helping to protect, else a disaster would lose both the business schema and the catalog schema.
