The odour of the curry is due to the spices we put in it such as curry powder, chilli powder, cloves, star anise and all the other stuff we put in it.
The smell of curry also differs in what kind of meat you are cooking. Chicken and pork curry is not that strong. Mutton curry got more pungent smell. Fish curry depends on what kind of curry you are cooking. Seafood curry is not too pungent while vegetable curry would depend on how much spices you put in it.
Indian family eat mutton curry a lot, and mutton emits a very strong smell that eating it regularly would emit (smell) from the body.
You can find different recipes in Indian websites.

I have seen recipes for curry dishes contain upwards of 8+ different types of spices (tumeric, garam masala, cumin, chile powder, etc.) but I've always been too lazy and cheap to make curry "from scratch". I just buy curry powder from the Asian Food store...it's very potent...a little goes a long way and it tastes "authentic" ie like the curries I have at an Indian restaurant.
I know that different cultures have different variations of curries and put different spices and ingredients in (eg Thai green curry contains coconut milk among other things and is different from the many regional variants of Indian curries, etc.) Where curry originates from, it was traditionally eaten to cool off in the warmer climates by inducing the body to sweat. (Which may mean you might need a stronger deodorant on the days you eat curry!)
Curry is an acquired taste I think. Its odor and taste can be offensive to those who have sensitive palates, but if given in small doses, it can be appreciated. My fiance used to hate curry, and it wasn't until he had lunch with my parents at a Malaysian restaurant that served roti with a chicken curry dipping sauce that he fell in love with it. Now he'll go out of his way to find a good Indian place to try it!

You smell like what you eat. Indians eat curry (spice masala) in every dish. They spice the Hell out of everything. I can create it by using some of my custom made curry masala in all my dishes I cook for three days and I'll smell like an Indian. Except it is a 'blond' curry smell.
I kind of like the smell if it's not too strong. I like to go to the Indian grocery to buy spices and it smells interesting in there. The people are nice too.

I don't get it. Are you asking why Indian people tend to smell like curry? If so, it's because Indians eat a lot of curry (and then sweat it out). Are you asking what curry is used for? I don't know about ceremony, but they make lots of tasty food out of it. And curry is a spice. You add it to a recipe. Go try out your local indian food restaurant, or if there are none around you (which I doubt in this day and age), look online for Indian recipes.
Very tasty.

Seriously, no offence to any ethnic group, the food we eat does affect the way we smell to others. Vegetarians say that meat eaters smell of corpses. I lived in an African country where many people ate insects and they had a distinctive smell. And I lived in a country where many ate curry, and they exuded the aroma in their sweat. And in this place where I live now, with millions of sandflies, they avoid anybody who's been boozing.
