For each Indian languages there are suggested default fonts in most of
the GNU/Linux distros . These came up after many user suggestions over
years .  ttf-indic-fonts-core was earlier serving these default font
sets. But many  font versions changed after that and many new fonts came
up . I request you to respect that

For Malayalam Meera  is the suggested Sans Serif font(default font) and
Rachana is the suggested Serif fonts . Almost alk the distros like
Fedora , Debian etc uses it that way .

For Tamil , there is newly introduced font meera tamil
http://packages.debian.org/en/sid/fonts-meera-taml which is asthetically
better compared to lohit fonts .

Title:
  ttf-indic-fonts packages is not updated for last 2 years

Status in “ttf-indic-fonts” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The Debian fonts team recently restructured the indic fonts. ttf-indic-fonts changed to fonts-indic. This is meta package and all packages ttf-[language]-fonts renamed to fonts-[script/foundry]. In addition to this all fonts were updated to latest versions from upstreams. 
  I request ubuntu maintainers to update the fonts to latest versions and consider following the debian package naming changes for fonts.

  Refer: http://packages.debian.org/sid/fonts-indic
