Namaskar. Welcome, and thank you for sharing you are Swetambar Jain.

A brief, simple overview:

• Swetambar (white-clad) is one of the two major Jain traditions. In this tradition, monks and nuns typically wear white robes.
• Digambar (sky-clad) is the other major tradition. In Digambar monastic practice, monks traditionally choose not to wear clothes.
• Both traditions honor the same basic Jain principles (ahimsa, satya, asteya, brahmacharya, aparigraha) and reverence for the Tirthankaras, but they have some differences in scriptures, rituals, and certain practices.
• Over time, there are variations within each tradition as well, and some texts or teachings may be interpreted slightly differently by Digambar and Swetambar sanghs.

If you’d like, I can share more about a specific topic you’re interested in—such as common Swetambar prayers and stotras, daily practices, or key texts—spoken in simple terms and with authentic Jain understanding.
