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*transliterate the original name to Marathi
*keeping the pronunciation of the word close to the original word in the
best possible way.
There might be exceptions for this suggestion. But this will work most of
the time.

Hi, Best wishes from Marathi Language mr-wikipedia.
We do have one article
on Marathi Wikipedia about Shrilankan 'Anuradhapura Kingdom' with present
title as mr:अनुराधापुर्याचे
राज्य<http://mr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A4%85%E0%A4%A8%E0%A5%81%E0%A4%B0%…AF>,
presently style of its writing Devanagari script is being debated at
Marathi Wikipedia village pump at
mr:विकिपीडिया:चावडी#अनुराधापुरा<http://mr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A4%B5%E…BE>.
The issue in debate is what is original Sinhalese pronunciation of word
अनुराधा*पुरा* ( Anuradhapu*rA*) or अनुराधा*पूर* (Anuradha*pur*) Which one
is correct amongst these .
Reply from some one who has some knowledge of original Sinhalese
pronunciation of word & Devanagari script will be appreciated .
Thanks and Regards
