saffron robes
Buddhist clergy garments
Saffron robes are the traditional garments worn by Buddhist monks and some Hindu ascetics, dyed in shades ranging from deep orange to yellow.
The color signals renunciation of worldly life and material attachment.
Saffron-robed monks lined the temple steps.
The phrase often serves as shorthand for Buddhist monasticism itself.
