Garg,
I checked with Bignoniaceae efi site.
But none of the flowers are matching with mine.
All flowers shown at the site are either yellow or rose.
But the flowers attached by me are brown in color without fragrance.

Thanks, Bharathi ji.

I could also not find a match at comparative images at Bignoniaceae

Was it from cultivated plant?

Garg Ji, 

Thanks for your interest and time.

It is not cultivated. 

I found in Murugan(Subramania - Son of Shiva) Temple at Vallakottai in Kanchipuram district near chennai.

The tree (Padiri or Pathiri in tamil) is skthala or sthala viriksham -the way of preserving trees.

It is one of the native trees of our land.Very less people have knowledge on this tree.I could not able to find another tree in the district itself.

But my mother told the flowers are fragrant and the juice from flower is dried and applied to forehead  like kumkum.

I bought around 10 trees from  Coimbatore and distributed to nearby places to conserve.
