I don't know about scim-bridge, but you can use transliteration
provided within emacs to enter the text very fluidly. As for export,
try xelatex or lualatex. They have much better unicode support. The
following should do it:
(setq org-latex-to-pdf-process
"xelatex -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f"
"xelatex -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f"
"xelatex -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f")
and
# for unicode export to pdf with xelatex
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{xltxtra}
You can choose your font with something like this:
# font for pdf export as article
#+LATEX_HEADER: \setmainfont{Linux Libertine}
Make sure you choose something which supports devanagari.
It would be nice if you report back whether it worked. I would be interested.
