Dear Friend,
Valmiki mentions about SHINSHAPA tree in his Ramayan.When Hanuman could locate Sita in Ashok vatika,he was sitting on the branch of a SHINSHAPA tree( as per Valmiki in his Ramayan).The scientific name of this tree is Dalbergia sissoo.Attaching an image of this tree.

Bimal da: Thank you for the reference, I registered at the site and
they allowed me to download the file....
there is a map of India and Ceylon... in it where Ram had moved
thru... its a very diverse set of ecosystem...difficult to recreate in
ONE BOTANICAL GARDEN.... if Govt India or some such body decides to
take up the project and makes at least about 7 gardens spread over
India then may be the different ecosystems can be accommodated....
it can be done... all we need are bureaucrats with dreaming
quality... a dream created the AGRI-Hort Garden and the Botanical
garden in Kolkata, the Kew and the NYBG... superb examples of far-
sightedness of bureaucrats...

This is undoubtedly Alstonia scholaris (L.) R. Br. of Apocynaceae
family. Any way a better picture of a branch with mature leaves would
be helpful for clarification.

It cant be Dalbergia sisso as this species has compound leaves. In
this picture 7 leaves are from a single node.

Agree with Mr Garg...
different angles would be appreciated, and a little less hazy-ness of pictures....
Also, CHHATIM GACH is just beginning to flower in Kolkata.... an occassional tree that faces west ie gets sun all afternoon... has one or two bunches of flowers.... and has new light green - chartreuse colored leaves , Just like in Bimal da's picture... not confirmatory though... So if Bimalda can send in pitures of flowers if possible....???/
