In ancient India, lay clothing was a simple white cloth that was wrapped around the hips, like a skirt. Another piece of cloth was thrown over the shoulders on special occasions, like a simple cape.When the fabric was burned out in the sun and soaked in Indian dust, it took on a yellowish tint. When the clothes were thrown away, ascetics could pick them up and sew a cape for themselves. There it was necessary to sew patches, according to Indian concepts, "clean" clothes are unstitched clothes. So the orange color originally indicated that the monk was actually wearing garbage.
Over time, of course, it became a status symbol.

Tumeric and saffron dye produce a striking fabric colour. The technology comes first, the poetic meaning comes after.

This was my initial assumption as well, but I assume there is a symbolic element as well, which is what I'm interested in.
