Here is a simple, Jain Dharma–centered overview of Svetambaras (the “white-clad” Jains):

• Identity and scriptures

- Svetambaras follow the Jain Agamas as their canonical scriptures. - They honor Mahavira as the 24th Tirthankara, along with other Tirthankaras, and they emphasize the Jain path taught in the Agamas.

• Monastic practice and dress

- Monks and nuns (bhikkhu/bhikkhuni) of Svetambara lineage wear white clothes. - They follow a disciplined path of renunciation, including vows of non-violence, truth, non-stealing, celibacy, and non-attachment to possessions.

• Attainment of liberation (moksha)

- Svetambaras believe that women can attain liberation and become ascetics or achieve moksha through proper spiritual practice.

• Key beliefs and ethics

- Core Jain ethics remain the same: ahimsa (non-violence), satya (truth), asteya (non-stealing), brahmacharya (celibacy/continence), and aparigraha (non-attachment). - They emphasize disciplined conduct, proper conduct for laypeople (shravakas/shravikas), and the cultivation of right conduct, right knowledge, and right faith.

• Differences from Digambaras (brief, neutral)

- Canon and scriptures: Svetambaras accept the Agamas; Digambaras have a different set of canonical texts. - Monkly attire: Svetambara monks/nuns wear white clothing; Digambaras traditionally practice nudity for monks (and have distinct rules for nuns). - Moksha for women: Svetambaras generally affirm that women can attain moksha; classical Digambara views are more restrictive on female renunciation and liberation (with variations across communities).
