Sir
It has to be confirmed that whether it is Ficus or not. To me it seems that over the tree in picture some Loranthaceae member is growing and the structures appearing as hypanthodia may be fruits.
Regards.

Yes Rawat ji, I hope your Namesake and Nidhan ji made it clear that it was an epiphytic growing on what looks like Rosaceous (perhaps Pyrus) tree. The fruits perhaps belong to Taxillus vestitus. Dinesh ji suggested Succurula elata, but based on our experience where our (mine and Balkar Singh) upload identified Succurula parasitica finally turned out Taxillus vestitus, this may be the same. The fruit shape and colour resembles.

Appears more closer to Taxillus umbellifer rather than Taxillus vestitus as per images and details herein.

Garg ji
I also have these identified as Taxillus vestitus, but flowers and inflorescence does not match with Taxillus at all.

Garg ji
In my folder also these are identified as Taxillus vestitus, but after having found real T. vestitus, above does not match with two links I have given.
