Yes Sir, I think it is Ficus arnotianna. The main distinguishing features that I generally apply are - the differences in the apex and the base of the leaves in F. arnotianna and F. religiosa.
The apex of F. arnotianna is "narrowed upwards to the shortly *caudate-acuminate apex* , with entire margins *base usually cordate*, never narrowed to the petiole" as mentioned in Dr. Almeida's flora and as seen in your pictures. In Ficus religiosa the "apex produced into a* linear -lanceolate tail* about 1/2 as long as the main portion of the blade (1/2 s long as the whole blade) , entire, *base broad*, rounded , truncate, sometimes in young leaves cordate..." as mentioned in Dr. Almeida's flora. Hope this helps! regards, Rashida.
