The leaves remind me of Bodhi tree but the tree trunk proves otherwise.

Would sea hibiscus, Hibiscus tiliaceus, be a possibility?

You might get more response if you added some closer photos that showed branching patterns more clearly (I think it is alternate) along with any flowers or fruits the tree produces.

That is a very reasonable guess!! And could be easily confirmed if you can take a photo of the underside of a leaf. The sea hibiscus, now reclassified as Talipariti tiliaceum, will have a distinct slit or opening in the major veins right where the leaf attaches to the petiole.

The varietal form T. tiliaceum var. purpurascens has darkly purple new growth.
