Thank you. I prefer all the numbers to be in Malayalam.
I tried to compile the document (attachment) with the line I mentioned

\renewcommand{\thesection}{\malayalamnumerals{section}}

the compiler came me an error message

! Undefined control sequence.
\thesection ->\malayalamnumerals
                                 {section}
l.51 \section{പ്രാരംഭഃ }
