According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The world of productivity is heavily influenced by fashion, and the newest trend in this area is global friendly fashion, also known as natural friendly fashion. Natural yams and textiles are dyed using natural materials. Natural dyes are renewable resources, safe for the environment, and non-toxic to wildlife. Colorants and pigments obtained from natural sources are known as natural dyes. Microorganisms, plants, and animals are the sources of it. Making natural dye is an art form. Natural materials have been used to make dyes and pigments since prehistoric times. Science is the backbone of the creative process of textile dyeing. Since the dawn of human civilization, people have been doing it. The use of chemical mordants in dyeing may render the use of natural dyes unsustainable due to their high pollution levels and environmental hazards. Because they don't harm the environment, natural mordanting agents like cow urine, myrobalan, and alum can be used to accomplish sustainable dyeing. Natural dye extract is of great interest to academics because there are ample plant resources available for natural dye. The great cultural diversity of the entire country is reflected in India's handlooms."
