So I saw this plant at a home with many plants. I made a search at Google Lens and observed that it's name is Nerium Oleander.
Here is a quoted text :
"Oleander is a rapidly growing evergreen, rounded shrub or small tree native to Europe and Asia. It grows to heights between 6.5' and 19.5' tall and 6' to 10' wide.....
"
An interesting aspect is that it can be poisonous so it be better not tried out during the meals.

Even with Edible flowers and leaves; I think one should cook first.
Eating raw without knowledge could be risky.

At first glance, I thought it's a calachuchi or temple flower which is very common here.

Same flowers can often have multiple names and uses across different cultures!!
