        abstract = {The uses of flower and plant-based extracts for the production of nanoparticles is known as green synthesis, and it has rapidly emerged as one of the most compelling and eco-conscious alternatives to conventional, energy-intensive chemical and physical methods. Our focus here is on an innovative path forward for using temple flowers, leaf waste and sacred trees residues biomass that is a major waste stream to establish an ‘Eco-Friendly Nanotechnological Synthesis’ route that directly resolves issues of resource strain and waste overload.
This review highlights the diverse botanical sources including jasmine flower, Hibiscus flowers and leaves, Ocimum species, Tagetes erecta, Clitoria ternatea flower , Rose petals, Plumeria alba, Lotus, Piper betel , Aegla Marmelos leaf , Datura, Pinwheel flower, Durva grass, Ficus religiosa and many other temple and flower west used for the biosynthesis of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles, such as silver AgNPs, Copper CuNPs, Gold AuNPs, Platinum PtNPs, Zinc ZnNPs, Cobalt CoNPs , Magnesium MgO nanoparticles, Lantham La2O3 and Hematite Fe2O3 nanoparticles. This flower and plant extracts are rich in phytochemicals that do the, crucial work of acting as a natural reducing, capping, and stabilize agents, make possible nanoparticles creation under ambient conditions without producing toxic byproducts. Green Synthesis has emerged as a sustainable method for making metallic nanoparticles. The resulting nanoparticles show varied sizes and shapes and possess notable antioxidant, antimicrobial, and catalytic properties. This paper ultimately underscores the immense potential of floral; leaf and scared trees residues extracts in developing cost-effective, biocompatible nanomaterials for various biomedical, environmental and industrial application.},
