there is no tags in html which will allow you to type in marathi. You can download specific tools

http://www.google.co.in/inputtools/

http://t13n.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/blet/docs/help_mr.html

but it will not be specific to certain div or tags it will get applied to every application.

Perhaps you could use the Google Input Tools

Install it with Marathi pack and you could start typing in Marathi

http://www.google.co.in/inputtools/

A draw back is that it should be installed on all the systems the application uses.If it's an intranet app then it would be fine.

It could not be done using html tag attributes, css styles or Javascript

I hope you meant Font and not language...

first of all, give that textarea an id and a class, for example

<textarea id="txtArea" class="textarea" style="height:200px;width:200px;font-family:Mangal">
</textarea>

then let's get ride of that bad inline style coding and have either an external stylesheet or inside the <head> this:

<style>
    .textarea { height:200px; width:200px; font-family:Mangal }
</style>

so now it would be clean as

<textarea id="txtArea" class="textarea">
</textarea>

to change the font, just do:

from javascript

txtArea.style.fontFamily = "Arial";

from stylesheet

.textarea { height:200px; width:200px; font-family:'Arial' }

or, if you can't ride the inline styles, add the id and call the javascript.

I don't recall if the font-family:'Arial' !important gets prioritize from an inline style, but you can also try that.
