I only removed the "range" after my first attempt didn't succeed... now it's working fine, but only after copying the font to "tex/texmf-local/fonts/truetype/" and running "context --generate". thanks!!! for my first naiive approach with \definefont it was ok/sufficient to keep the TTF file in the local project's directory. why is not true for your \definefallbackfamily solution ? thanks again!!

Hi Harald, as an alternative to the font proposed by Wolfgang (seems to be only available for Mac), FreeSerif may be an option (https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/freefont/).

You can use the fallback mechanism to use a different font for characters which
aren’t available in the main font.
\definefallbackfamily [mainface] [rm] [Devanagari MT]
[range=devanagari,scale=1.2]
\definefontfamily [mainface] [rm] [TeX Gyre Pagella]
\definefontfamily [mainface] [mm] [TeX Gyre Pagella Math]
\setupbodyfont[mainface]
\starttext
Danke – धन्यवाद
