Diospyros ok... what kind? I cant tell just from leaves.. not an expert by any means....
BUT but definitely not Nyctanthus.. Parijat leaves.. young ones are never red... AND never droop as they are here...in the second set of pictures... I should perhaps know... my mom's garden had two... for more than 40 years... I grew up playing under them... and collecting flowers... local women came to collect these ..they used to leave their saris spread under the trees.. since the flowers open around 4 am and drop as the day light becomes harsher..best one were the ones that dropped early on.. used for various pujas... and some underhanded folks use the dried stalks to adulterate saffron sold in the market ... @Bhagyashri: what you wrote about Parijat is true.. but this plant in the pic is not a Parijat...
