Yogapedia explains Haldi
In the traditional Indian medicine system of Ayurveda, haldi is used as a treatment for a variety of conditions and is valued for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and bacteria-fighting properties. It may be consumed or applied externally as a paste.
As part of the Hindu wedding celebration, the haldi ceremony is believed to remove evil and is a way to offer blessings to the couple. A paste made of the spice is applied to the bride's and groom's bodies at their separate homes as a purification rite. The couple then stays at their respective homes until the wedding.
