It is a part of tradition and culture.Women all over the world decorate themselves for this occasion. Applying henna is an art. It reflects an aesthetic sense and it is said the that deeper the colour of henna the more love she will get from her husband.Application of the paste of henna which is a plant leaf is otherwise good for the skin and is considered auspicious.

It is tradition. I don't know how it originates. It is henna, by the way. I was told that as long as the henna remained on my hands, I didn't have to do any housework! It lasted around 3 weeks.

That "paint" is henna. It means that she is happy. It is a sign of joy and good fortune. Ps..only for women

First of all it is henna not "paint" and it symbolizes true love. The darker the color gets the more succesful your love will be.
