In Hindi wikipedia, including devanagari numerals in title apparently creates a
spoof check, ultimately disallowing creation of the page. The reason says that
the formatting of title falls under "blacklisted entry", which <quote>Disallows
five consecutive characters that are not letters (in any script), numbers, or
spaces</quote>. Therefore, a title containing 5 or more devanagari numerals are
not created. Similar, 4 or more devanagari numerals clubbed with other common
characters like (, ), comma etc are not created. A common usage is appending
year at the end of title under brackets. Try this -
http://hi.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=दुर्गा पूजा (२०१२)&action=edit
Devanagari numerals are widely used in India among hindi, marathi and sanskrit
speakers. I would request to include the devanagari numerals permanently into
the title creation text charater set.

Shaurabh Bharti
