Is the purple mark on your finger to show that you voted?

If so, that’s really neat. We generally just get stickers in Canada

OP said in another comment they are from Karnataka, which is a state in India.

So I did a little looking at Indian voting practices, and yes.

When you vote, they mark your left index finger with indelible ink, which stays on your finger for weeks to months. The page didn't specify a reason, but I assume it's so people don't try to get duplicate votes in.

I did not I was out of station. They should have online voting like the USA.

I was day before yesterday years old when I learnt that these evm machines just automated the ballot dropping. I actually used to think everything happened online and these evms were secure machines which did that. Naive me.
