Do you know or can you guess the language, and do you know where it’s spoken?

Music can sometimes give it away or completely fool me. My guess (and is it EVER a guess!) is that it is either a North American Indigenous language or a recording of some ancient extinct language like Sumerian, Hittite or Etruscan.
It seems like a mantram dedicated to the Hindu goddess Prithivi, but I don’t know if the language is Indo-Aryan, Dravidian or another from a different family.
The language is Marathi (मराठी), a Southern Indo-Aryan language spoken mainly in the state of Maharashtra in the west of India.
