Very nice pictures. It may be Cereus pterogonous. I think the fruits are edible!?

Surely Cereus but sp not confirmed may be peruvianus also

Only the following species of Cereus are listed in India Flora Online (Cereus hexagonus, Cereus peruvianus, Cereus pterogonus) as per details herein. 
Only Cereus pterogonus have distribution in the area.

So I take it as Cereus pterogonus
