Summary, etc. The present paper is an attempt to assess the diversity and document the indigenous uses and traditional practices of dye<br />yielding plants in Central Himachal Pradesh North Western Himalaya. A total of 17 species of dye yielding plants belonging<br />to 13 families and 17 genera were recorded. These species are used to dyeing clothes and other items. Different plant parts<br />were utilized, of which fruit (07 spp.) was used in the majority, followed by flowers (05 spp.); bark (04 spp.) and leaves<br />(03 spp.) Information on indigenous uses and traditional practices was documented with the help of local inhabitants.<br />Natural dye yielding plants have immense significance in the socio-economic and socio-cultural aspects of the inhabitants.<br />The indigenous knowledge of extractions, processing and practices of in situ and ex situ conservation of the species; natural<br />dyes has declined to a great extent. Therefore, to maintain dye yielding plant wealth, awareness among the inhabitants;<br />involvement of local inhabitants and Forest Department about the indigenous uses and traditional practices have<br />been suggested.<br /><br />
