Why do they paint elephants in Hindu culture for weddings?

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.
