Shwetambar (Śvetāmbara) vs Digambar (often called Sky-clad) are the two main Jain traditions. A quick, clear difference:

• Clothing of monks and nuns:

- Śvetāmbara: Both monks and nuns wear simple white clothes. - Digambar: Traditionally, monks renounce all clothing (sky-clad); some sub-traditions may use minimal coverings, but the ideal is complete nudity.

• Role of women and ordination:

- Śvetāmbara: Women can become monks (bhikṣus) and bhikṣuṇīs; both genders have a strong monastic presence. - Digambar: Historically, stricter rules around monastic ordination for women; many lineages do not ordain women as monks in the same way as Śvetāmbara.

• Scriptures and canons:

- Śvetāmbara: Accept a broad set of canonical scriptures written by white-clad communities. - Digambar: Follow a different set of canonical texts and traditions; some Anga texts are treated differently.

• Iconography and temple practice:

- Śvetāmbara temples and idols often show clothes or symbolic drapery. - Digambar idols and temples emphasize renunciation and, in many depictions, nude or minimally adorned Tirthankaras.

• Practical ritual and daily life:

- Both share core Jain principles (ahimsa, anekantavada, aparigraha), but differ in liturgy, temple rituals, and everyday practices.

Note: “Pitambar” is not a standard term for the main split; the well-known contrast is Śvetāmbara (white-clad) vs Digambar (sky-clad). If you want, you can read a concise comparison here: You can read more here
