    Try comparing it with pictures of Ficus religiosa.

    I have checked it. The common name for Ficus benghalensis is Banyon.
    However, both of the plants do not seems alike.
    The plant's leaves that i plucked have tapered end, but Ficus benghalensis doesn's have. Anyway, thanks ya, Michael F. :D

    Sorry, I meant Ficus religiosa - I picked the wrong name at first, and changed it with a quick edit, but I guess you saw my reply before I finished the edit!
