$mail->Username = 'mass.mari06#gmail.com'; // SMTP username
$mail->Password = '8489328117'; // SMTP password

$mail->Port = 465; // TCP port to connect to
$mail->Port = $SmtpPort;
$mail->From = 'from#example.com';
$mail->FromName = 'Mailer';
$mail->addAddress('mass.mari06#gmail.com', 'Joe User'); // Add a recipient
$mail->addAddress('deeparavisankar93#gmail.com'); // Name is optional
$mail->addReplyTo('info#example.com', 'Information');
$mail->addCC('cc#example.com');
$mail->addBCC('bcc#example.com');
$mail->WordWrap = 50; // Set word wrap to 50 characters
$mail->addAttachment('/var/tmp/file.tar.gz'); // Add attachments
$mail->addAttachment('/tmp/image.jpg', 'new.jpg'); // Optional name
$mail->isHTML(true); // Set email format to HTML
$mail->Subject = 'Here is the subject';
$mail->Body = 'This is the HTML message body <b>in bold!</b>';
$mail->AltBody = 'This is the body in plain text for non-HTML mail clients';
if(!$mail->send()) {
echo 'Message could not be sent.';
echo 'Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo 'Message has been sent';
}
?>
****ERROR:**** Message could not be sent.Mailer Error: SMTP connect() failed.
So what can I do? Please help me.. this code I downloaded from GitHub.

SMTP is mail sending server.
You should use the one you are trying to send mail "from" is assigned. I assumed that you try to send from mass.mari06#gmail.com so configuration should look like following:
$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com'; // Specify main and backup SMTP servers
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // Enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = 'mass.mari06#gmail.com';
