There are several reasons that elephants are painted in India.
Elephants are a symbol of royalty. When the royals ride elephants, the elephants are often adorned with gold, silver, silks, and paints to match the clothing or party of the royalty. The elephants are a statement of power.
Elephants are also painted to help with tourism. They are a major draw in certain areas of India, and many villages depend on the elephants as a source of income. Beautifully painted elephants are often just a happy thing to look at. An elephant covered in painted lotus blossoms and playing tug of war with another elephant will bring in a crowd and cash.
Painted elephants are commonly used in celebration. Elephants are sacred in Indian culture. The Hindu god, Ganesh, has the head of an elephant. Painting and decorating the elephant is a sign of respect and care.
