Welcome to TeX.SE. Please provide not just a code snippet but a minimum working example (MWE) that generates the problem behavior you wish to fix. For sure, you've got to indicate which font you use. – Mico Oct 16 '21 at 10:02

There is nothing applicable in the language definition file (.ldf) yet, but adapting code from other modules and changing to Kannada seems to work:
You must use a font that contains the digits.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\newfontfamily\kannadafont{Noto Sans Kannada}[Script=Kannada]
\setmainlanguage[numerals=Kannada]{kannada}

@karthikholla Yes. It will affect the whole document. Maybe also useful for other cases and users might be to add digit choice as a package/language option. – Cicada Oct 18 '21 at 14:00

@karthikholla Look at
bengalidigits.stycode and bengali.ldf - these have the program logic that can be used. – Cicada Oct 18 '21 at 14:04
