"Growing environmental awareness has sparked increased interest in natural dyes within the textile industry, as consumers recognize the harmful effects of synthetic dyes on both health and the environment. While natural dyes are eco-friendlier, their overall performance typically falls short compared to synthetic alternatives." The present study deals with the extraction of natural dye collected from the discarded flowers of temples, Pooja flowers in houses and the flower shops at the local market. The selected flowers for the study are Yellow Chrysanthemum, Purple Chrysanthemums, Origanum majorana, and lotus flowers. The conventional method of dye extraction process was done for the selected natural sources and evaluated to determine the best colour strength. Three different types of knitted fabrics were used in the experiment to observe the colour fastness of dye. The sample dyed from Yellow Chrysanthemum shows best colour fastness report than the other dyed samples.
