There is no such word like 'kunku' either in Hindi or Marathi. 'Haldi' is a separate word, which means 'turmeric'.

The above answer is partly correct. Haldi is Turmeric powder and Kunku is Vermillion powder. The term haldi-kunku refers to a socio-religious practice where married / unmarried women daub Haldi followed by Kunku on each others' foreheads wishing them a long married life.
