Drupal localization

I assume that you have already installed drupal and created the first admin account.

1) Administer - Site Building - Modules - enable "Locale" module

2) Administer - Site Configuration - Localization - Add Language - Marathi
3) Administer - Site Configuration - Localization - Import - Browse...
Select the mr.po file that you have downloaded and unzipped from
http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/drupal/files/projects/mr-5.x-1.0.tar.gz
Right click the above link and choose "Save as..."

4) Enable Marathi and make it default interface.

5) To enable typing in Devnagari, download and unzip the file from...
http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/drupal/files/projects/unisaraswati-5.x-1.0.tar.gz
Copy the unisarawati folder in the modules folder under drupal directory. Enable the module by navigating to Administer - Site Building - Modules. Decide where should be the Devnagari / Roman option should be displayed by going to Administer - Blocks. You can use the F12 key to toggle the input method from Devnagari to Roman.

You said that you have copied the folder to Drupal directory, I told you to save in the "Modules" directory that is found below drupal directory and NOT in the drupal directory!
