It has survived so long, adapting and evolving along the way, and still is made in many parts of the world, by both traditional and contemporary means and suggests, it has some wisdom to yield about sustainability. Batik work is limited, mainly in Naphthol colour and partly in solubilized vat dye; it is applied to the fabric in cold condition. The excellence of batik word is, its natural creation of crack design with the help of wax, which is a good resisting material. Batik with natural colour is not practically possible, with the exhaust dyeing method. In this work, an attempt has been taken for batik work, with natural colour, which has a huge demand. This inspired the research to dye silk fabric with batik technique, using a combination of dyes namely: Indian Madder and Turmeric; Indian Madder and Marigold Petals; Turmeric and Marigold Petals. The composite dyes, mostly shade of yellow to red. Six cushion covers were prepared with the different techniques, mordants and dyes, and a preference for the colour combination and the batik effect were taken. It was said that, the samples were very impressive and a very good batik effect was produced by natural dyes. They also said that, it was a very good idea for reducing the environmental pollution. The study was very innovative and could be used for further researches.
