I believe that this tree too is a light colorform of B. tomentosa, albeit one lacking the maroon-spotted petal. This is relatively uncommon here in the USA, but I have seen one such plant and heard of others like it.

Garg correctly identified it as Bauhinia tomentosa. I am attaching photos where petals are of yellow shade like B. tomentosa, but a central petal distinctly lack its trademark maroon marking. Just to knock down the possibilities of B. acuminata, its photo is also included.A comparative picture of B. acuminata, B. tomentosa and unknown Bauhinia might be of help.
