In present work, manganese doped TiO2 supported on zeolite has been used as a photocatalyst for the degradation of erythrosine dye. It was prepared by sol gel method. Rate of photocatalytic degradation of erythrosine was measured spectrophotometerically. Effect of various rate affecting parameters has been studied to obtain the optimum conditions for degradation of dye. It has been observed that rate of photocatalytic degradation of erythrosine was higher in case of Mn doped TiO2 as compared to pure TiO2
