A lot of attention has been given by the researchers to seek cheap and natural sources of colorant materials and strategies to improve their fastness against the light, crocking, and washing of textile materials. Marigold flowers were taken to extract dyestuff and applied on the surface of cotton and polyester fabrics to study the colorfastness in dry and wet conditions. Oil was also extracted from leaves of Ocimum tenuiflorum (tulsi) and added in the prepared dye bath to induce antimicrobial properties in the dyed fabrics. Colorfastness of fabrics was evaluated by following AATCC 8-2007 test method. Antimicrobial activity was determined by following recommendations given by AATCC 147-16 test procedure. It was concluded that the scale of colorfastness ranged between 4 and 5 for polyester and cotton fabrics respectively that depict excellent fastness properties. Ocimum tenuiflorum oil helped to reduce the growth of bacteria on treated fabrics. It was found that extracted oil provided satisfactory protection against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli on both types of fabrics
