Agreed with Rawat ji. 1. This is *Salix denticulata* Andersson.
The most distinct character in the photograph that helps to identifying this species is the much elongated non-flowering portion with 3-5 basal leaves of the fruiting catkins. The leaf characters (blades elliptic, oblong-elliptic or oblong-obovate; denticulate or sometimes serrulate at margin; distinct mid-veins and secondary veins on the dorsal surface; secondary veins subopposite to alternate, curved, oblique and mostly 45°) of *Salix denticulata* are also quite distinct that could be viewed after zooming from the picture.
