I have so far tried to give pronunciation advice using Devanaagari script and approximations from actual words. But I feel the need to add IPA or some other standardised key. Here is a key that will apply to all names of Indian origin. For starters, all the parliamentary constituencies will follow this key. This covers only the vowels.
