Swagat it, it is Castanea sativa, locally known as sangara (incidently the same that we use for Trapa bispinosa in Delhi). The seeds are roasted and eaten, but don't think of bringing seeds to your place and eat later on. They have very poor keeping quality. They get spoilt, if not roasted and eaten before a week from picking.
