Topological index of a graph is a numerical representation linked to the graph or the molecular structure associated with the graph, shedding light on its topological and structural properties. Different topological indices showcase unique attributes rooted in their degree, spectrum, and distance characteristics. Among these, the first and second K Banhatti indices, introduced by Kulli, involving both vertex and edge degrees, have garnered significant scholarly interest, prompting extensive discussions in graph theory. Within this research paper, a thorough exploration delves into the attributes surrounding the fuzzified first and second K Banhatti indices. This exploration is directed towards several bounds of the index and index of various structures like cycles, complete fuzzy graphs, complete bipartite graphs and stars. Relation between a fuzzy graph and its partial subgraphs, fuzzy graph and its complement graph in connection with the indices is also found. Additionally, the research paper investigates the first and second K Banhatti indices concerning graph operations such as the corona product and coalescence. Additionally, the paper outlines an algorithm designed to accurately compute the first and second K Banhatti indices and proposes an application in decision-making.
