ALso looking at the #3 it seems your camera was at the same level as
the top of the tree... did you climb a near by tree? or where you on a
building near by????
Secondly, I dont see any red in the stamens at all... wonder why????

Is Pseudobombax ellipticum (Shaving Brush tree) a synonym of this plant? One such specimen exists in V.J.B.Udyan, Byculla, Mumbai. Another dark pink variety exists in BARC, Trombay.
