The present investigation was carried out to extract natural dye from Snapdragon Flower, The dye was
extracted by boiling method with Water. The extract was further used for Dying Cotton fabric. Before
dying Cotton Fabric the process of Bleaching & Mordanting is done. In this Mordanting process Alum,
Stannous chloride was used. The Results revealed that, different shades of Orange colour were
