Hi Corey,
Thank you very much for your answer. May be this is what I am looking
for. I have few doubts about the way using this solution.
hiera('nodes', 'default_value', 'nodes/host1234')
*'nodes/host1234' - *Is this a yaml file name ? I know the yaml file
name in which hiera should search data. I want to provide that file name
in the looking up function.
That will not work. If you are using hiera, the configuration of which
yaml files that it loads is controlled by the configuration in hiera.yaml.

You should be able to just use the normal hiera syntax. example:
hiera('nodes', 'default_value', 'nodes/host1234')
Documented here:

<https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/master/lib/puppet/functions/hiera.rb>
Also, its bad practice to lookup hiera from within a template. Put
the value in a puppet variable and then just use the variable in the
template.
This way the next person will not have to troubleshoot your template.

I have provided the .yaml file which includes above 'nodes'

file which is dynamically loaded as follows)

I have want to load another data object into my puppet template
but the problem is that data object is in a .yaml file which is
not registered in my hiera.yaml file. I cannot register that
file in my hiera.yaml.
Is there anyway to load data object providing the file along
with the lookup method. I do know the .yaml file name that
object is in ?
