Sustainable and eco-friendly natural dyes can be produced different shades of colors and have lowers colors fastness when compared to synthetic dyes. As the products of natural dyes are able to produce different shades and eco-friendly nature, they are in high demand. Leaves, barks, roots, fruits or berries of plants are the sources of natural dyes. Such dyes are obtained by boiling leaves, barks, roots, fruits or berries in water. This study deals with the process of dyeing silk fabric with barks of Terminalia arjuna.L. In this study, the color fastness and color strength (K/S) of the dyed silk fabric is assessed and compared. The conclusion arrived at this study is that the fastness properties and color strength of the dyed silk fabric by adopting simultaneous mordanting method with 3% mordant combination yielded better results
