Detailed explanation-1: -Śvētāmbara means “white-clad", and refers to its ascetics’ practice of wearing white clothes, which sets it apart from the Digambara “sky-clad” Jains, whose ascetic practitioners go nude. Śvētāmbaras do not believe that ascetics must practice nudity.
Detailed explanation-2: -Svetambara idols of Tirthankars are decorated with jewels, wearing loincloth with prominent staring eyes. However, Digambara idols are naked, undecorated with downcast eyes.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Digambaras also reject the Shvetambara canon of religious texts and believe that the early literature was gradually forgotten and lost completely by the 2nd century CE. So, the hard life and discipline were the main points of dispute between them.
