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
\stoptext
