In recent year green and eco-friendly synthesis of metal nanoparticles plays an important role in nanotechnology, medical science, industries, ceramics etc. The manuscript focuses on the green and facile synthesis of AgNPs from aqueous solution of leaf of Cassia fistula. UV-Visible spectra confirm the bio-formation of AgNPs at 412 nm with the witness of change in colour. Synthesized silver nanoparticle characterized further by FTIR, SEM, EDX and XRD spectroscopic technique. The shape of AgNPs is observed to be like oval, triangular and cylindrical respectively. EDX analysis confirmed the elemental percentage of silver 93.02%. FTIR shows shifting in bands from lower side to upside.The biosynthesized AgNPs shows antibacterial activity against E. coli and B. subtilis pathogens and it was found that AgNPs were more effective against E. coli and B. subtilis bacteria. The method used in this study for the biosynthesis of AgNPs from aqueous extracts of Cassia Fistula was green, reduce harmful chemical with no environmental hazards.
