Green　synthesis　of　silver　nanoparticles　(AgNPs)　employing　an　aqueous　plant　extract　has　emerged　as　a　viable　eco-friendly　method.　The　aim　of　the　study　was　to　synthesize　AgNPs　by　using　plant　extract　of　Sanvitalia　procumbens　(creeping　zinnia)　in　which　the　phytochemicals　present　in　plant　extract　act　as　a　stabilizing　and　reducing　agent.　For　the　stability　of　the　synthesized　AgNPs,　different　parameters　like　AgNO3　concentration,　volume　ratios　of　AgNO3,　temperature,　pH,　and　contact　time　were　studied.　Further,　AgNPs　were　characterized　by　UV-visible　spectroscopy,　FT-IR　(Fourier　Transform　Infrared　Spectroscopy),　XRD　(X-ray　Diffraction),　SEM　(Scanning　Electron　Microscopy),　and　EDX　(Energy　Dispersive　X-ray　Spectrometer)　analysis.　FT-IR　analysis　showed　that　the　plant　extract　contained　essential　functional　groups　like　O-H　stretching　of　carboxylic　acid,　N-H　stretching　of　secondary　amides,　and　C-N　stretching　of　aromatic　amines,　and　C-O　indicates　the　vibration　of　alcohol,　ester,　and　carboxylic　acid　that　facilitated　in　the　green　synthesis　of　AgNPs.　The　crystalline　nature　of　synthesized　AgNPs　was　confirmed　by　XRD,　while　the　elemental　composition　of　AgNPs　was　detected　by　energy　dispersive　X-ray　analysis　(EDX).　SEM　studies　showed　the　mean　particle　diameter　of　silver　nanoparticles.　The　synthesized　AgNPs　were　used　for　photocatalytic　degradation　of　Orange　G　and　Direct　blue-15　(OG　and　DB-15),　which　were　analyzed　by　UV-visible　spectroscopy.　Maximum　degradation　percentage　of　OG　and　DB-15　azo　dyes　was　observed,　without　any　significant　silver　leaching,　thereby　signifying　notable　photocatalytic　properties　of　AgNPs.
