A reply from Mahadeswara ji; "Looking at the flower it is Barringtonia asiatica. Very common tree in west coast (Bombay). Better to check the characters of the leaves as well as the fruits for confirmation. The fruits are very characteristic for this species - 4 angled :Box Fruit, due to distinct square like diagonals jutting out from the cross section of the fruit."
