Question: what are the main differences between digambara and svetambara monks?
Answer: Both agree on the fundamental Jain principles and the five vows in Jainism. However, both have different views when it comes to scriptures, liberation, dress, the birth of Mahavira etc. Digambara means “sky-clad” i.e. naked and Svetambara means “white-clad”, that's why they wear white clothes.
