Need help identifying this extraordinarily beautiful flower!

[Uleetsa Moscowa]

I have seen this flower in INDIA. Never again. There is a tree in my neighborhood that puts out these flowers in thousands. There is only one such tree in the entire town. As kids we used to collect these flowers. People used to think that it is 'Shiva Lingam flower'. I have no clue what the botanical name is. I am also curious what the pundits have to say.
