@sumitj : Thank you for the feedback. I hope you and all your loved ones are healthy. I'm sorry for the questions following but I'd like to learn more about Modi. How do you know what Modi should look like? Have you studied it? or are you a native speaker/reader/writer? would you have any pictures of Modi script that you could attach? I'd like to learn more. Thanks again.

I am native Marathi speaker. Modi script was developed to write Marathi language more faster on paper. Marathi written in Modi script was court language of Maratha empire, Yadava dynasty and some other dynasties. Modi script was used to write Marathi language along with Devnagari but in 1950, Maharashtra(Marathi speaking state of India) government adopted Marathi written in Balbodh(Devnagari) script for official purpose. So for Modi script Maharashtra government offers courses to become government certified Modi script expert. Modi script has different styles in writing for different era . I'm unable to find my textbook so attaching the image of Modi letter that I used for practice.

'Traa', 'Shraa' should be rendered as 'त्रा', 'श्रा'. Also 'श्र' which is 'श् + र' treated as consonant. Posting screenshots.
