Number of formulations is in use these days for developing latent fingerprints on different surfaces. In this paper, an easily available herbal powder, which is cheap as well as non-toxic, has been used for the visualizing latent prints. This powder has not only given results successfully on different surfaces such as wood, glass, plastic, paper and marble, but also posed no threat for the technicians who inhale fine particles of the powder during the sprinkling over the latent prints. The study has been recorded for up to 10 days.
