Hello,
I recently learned that ConTeXt-mkiv and LuaTeX now support devanagari fonts. An enormous thank you to Kai and Hans and anyone else involved in making that happen. I know it's a niche application, but for some of us it makes all the difference.
I ran some tests on the output and the rendering is lovely, even on the extremely complex ligatures. I noticed only two errors, both of which are simple to describe and consistent:
1) Conjuncts of the form (consonant + virama + र "ra") render the opposite sequence intended. For example: [U+0915] [U+094D][U+0930] (क्र "kra") incorrectly produces the glyph intended for [U+0930][U+094D][U+0915] (र्क "rka").
2) Word-final virama causes words to render with a half-consonant at the end. They should instead display the whole-consonant with the virama diacritic. Half-consonants should be used only when conjoining with another subsequent consonant in the same word.

I tried to look at the code in hopes of offering a fix, but I'm afraid it was way over my head. If there's anything else I can do to help, I'd be happy for the opportunity.
Can you make a as-small-as-possible test file? Preferable with proper utf-8 sequences (+ comment mentioning numbers/classes), good and wrong. I can probably figure it out but I cannot read or input easily this kind of scripts.
