Native to Brazil, passion fruit is the edible fruit of the passion flower. The name resulted after early Spanish missionaries saw the passion flower during Lent and Easter. They named it in honor of the passion of Christ. The fruit is small and round, the size of a large egg, with red, yellow, or purple-brown skin, yellow flesh and many small black edible seeds. The pulp has an intense aromatic flavor, while the texture is jelly-like and watery. It is a good source of vitamins A and C, and potassium.

Since we don't have this dish in our society, we perhaps don't have a proper Hindi equivalent, it would be suitable to transliterate this term otherwise it could lead to confusion.
