Natural composites have garnered attention for application in the automotive and construction industries due to their eco-friendly nature and lightweight properties. However, their strength is often limited, presenting challenges for such applications. The goal of this research was to develop a composite material with enhanced performance characteristics. The study focused on using Tulsi fiber as reinforcement in composite production. Additionally, mango seed particles were incorporated as a filler, alongside Tulsi fiber. The composites were fabricated using epoxy resin as the matrix, with varying amounts of Tulsi fibers as reinforcements, utilizing the conventional hand layup method. An optimal fiber-to-resin ratio was established through experimentation. The results indicated that a composition of 30 wt% Tulsi fiber and 70 wt% epoxy resin exhibited notable strength. Further reinforcement of this composite with different amounts of mango seed particles was conducted. Mechanical properties, water absorption, and biodegradation characteristics were assessed. The composite with 30 wt% Tulsi fiber and 20 wt% mango seed particles demonstrated superior performance in terms of tensile st
