My suggestion on this is, if this place name is already known/use/famous among Marathi people (in some form) please use that Marathi version. If it is a new name that is going to be used for the first time, please<i><b> transliterate the original name to Marathi </b></i>keeping the pronunciation of the word close to the original word in the best possible way. <br>
<br><br>There might be exceptions for this suggestion. But this will work most of the time.<br><br>Shiju Alex<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2010/10/5 Mahitgar from Marathi Wikipedia <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:mahitgar@yahoo.co.in">mahitgar@yahoo.co.in</a>&gt;</span><br>
