orange robes
Buddhist monk garb
Orange robes are the traditional garments worn by Buddhist monks and nuns, particularly in Theravada traditions of Southeast Asia.
The distinctive saffron or ochre color comes from ancient dyeing methods using available plants and spices.
The phrase often serves as shorthand for Buddhist monasticism itself: He gave up his career and took the orange robes.
