In a simple way, Digambar and Shwetambar temples differ mainly in the way the Jain idol and worship tradition are kept.

Digambar temples

• The murtis of Tirthankars are usually completely unclothed, because Digambar tradition sees the Tirthankar in the state of complete renunciation.
• The idols are often plain and simple.
• Worship is generally done with less decoration and a more austere feeling.

Shwetambar temples

• The murtis are usually decorated with clothes, ornaments, or covers.
• The idols often look more ornamented and bright.
• Worship in many Shwetambar temples includes more decorative rituals.

Very simple summary

• Digambar = simple, unclothed idols, more austerity
• Shwetambar = clothed/decorated idols, more ornamentation

Important point

Both traditions are part of Jain Dharma and both worship the same Tirthankars. The main difference is in appearance and ritual style, not in the goal of liberation.
