The next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model (NMSSM) featuring constrained mSUGRA model, has the capability to inherently anticipate a light dark matter component within the existing limitations encompassing Higgs data, sparticle-mass constraints, dark matter exploration, muon g-2. We examine neutralino dark matter within the NMSSM framework by conducting a comprehensive analysis of its parameter space. This involves evaluating neutralino capture and annihilation rates within the Sun. The exploration of potential detection strategies for neutralino dark matter in neutrino experiments hinges on the composition of neutralinos and their primary annihilation pathways. Our study also involves reassessing the maximum thresholds for branching ratios of lepton flavour violation decays BR(μ→ e+γ), BR(τ→ e+γ) by directly referencing the constrained limits on Δaμ from gμ-2 experiment. This work also presents constraints of muon flux, photon, positron and antiproton flux, specifically its independence from experimental intricacies and the universal applicability of recalculation coefficients across NMSSM model. Within the scope of this research, we have chosen to utilize this NMSSM scenario as a case study to investigate the funnel- annihilation mechanisms pertaining to light dark matter and the concealed Higgs decay. In this particular scenario, our findings reveal that there exist decay channel-annihilation mechanisms for the lightest supersymmetric particle χ10 , which include the h2, h1, Z, W+, W-, G, s, S, b, B, c, C, a, A, d, D, l, L decay funnels.
