Shrikant-- I don't think that this is Albizia julibrissin. Foliage seems too bright a green color, and "huge" is not a word I'd likely use to describe A. julibrissin. I'll see if those glands match trees here in the States.

This would be Albizia julibrissin, though not too sure, the Persian Silk Tree. It has pink flowers resembling the Rain Tree. Pls keep watching for flowers in early summer.
