how can i stop repeation on image attached to body tag of an html page

Try...

 background-repeat: no-repeat

@JorgeM, don't forget the semicolon ;)

So, background-repeat: no-repeat;

commented: Touché +12

A semicolon is only necessary if there will be another declaration after the other. If there is only one declaration, or if it's the last declaration in a CSS block, then you can leave the semicolon out if you want.

background-repeat property along with the background-position or use background property to set all your background properties at once
