There are some approaches described here:
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/199773/how-to-type-hindi-words-in-latex
Since your input will be most probably already UTF-8 encoding, I
guess the most promising avenue these days is to go with LuaLaTeX.
It should work as a drop-in replacement for LaTeX "classic" and
should be included in your favourite TeX distribution.
I don't know off-the-bat what to do to make it work with Org
(I'm sure there are folks around here who do :), I'd first
export to LaTeX and fiddle with the preamble until I know what
to do.
