Dinesh--
Looks like "regular" F. benjamina to me, though fruit (larger, lighter in
color) resembles that of F. benjamina 'Exotica'. The foliage and habit of the
tree pictured do not match the (garden-derived) F. benjamina 'Exotica'.
Perhaps it is F. benjamina var. nuda?
Regards--
Ken.

Dear friends,
This Ficus tree at the north-east end of Rani Baug.
It has yellowish figs, normally seen in pairs.
The leaf shape and size seems like enlarged version of Ficus benjamina
The figs too are almost 3 - 4 times the size of F. benjamina
