Here we report few medicinal plants of Indigofera Tinctoria, Momordica Cymbalaria, and Withania Somnifera that has been collected in Krishnankoil area of Virudhunagar district in Tamil Nadu. The identification of biomolecules was investigated using fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Charge transfer between bonding, antibonding, non-bonding was analyzed with UV-Vis spectroscopy along with measurement of absorption. Phytochemical testing was carried out inorder to understand the important constituents in the chosen herbals
