1.Nyctanthes arbortristis .Commonly known as Coral Jasmine.This is Harsinghar in Hindi and Sephalika/Seoli in Bangla.Legand says that in the earlier life this plant was a beautiful girl and was in love with Sun God.As the Sun did not notice this unilateral love the girl died.A plant came up at that place.As Sun neglected her the flowers of this plant fall on the ground before the Sun rises.
There is also a mythological story about Parijatak which I would like to share
During samudra manthan (churning of the ocean), the gods had obtained Parijataka, the tree with divine fragrance. This tree was planted in the garden of Indra, the king of gods. One day, SageNarada went to this garden and collected some flowers that had fallen from the treeand gave them to Rukmini, Krishna's wife. Rukmini was very happy but when Satyabhama, another wife of Krishna, smelled its fragrance, she asked Krishna to bring her the tree. After defeating Indra, Krishna brought the tree on earth. But a quarrel started between Rukmini and Satyabhama, as both of them wanted the tree.
Krishna planted the tree in Satyabhama's courtyard in such a way that its flowers fell in Rukmini's house and in this way both his wives were happy.
any particular reason why you have written the name as Nyctanthes arbor-tristis with a dash?

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...

The leaves were very smooth to touch (similar to when we touch the young leaves of Polyalthia).
