For the research, mulberry silk fabric was dyed with purple lady (Telanthera ficoidea) and mordant selected were alum and tea. All the three mordanting method viz., pre, simultaneous and post mordanting method were used. The dye materials were collected and extracted from the leaves and stems of purple lady with method.
