“Digambar” (Digambara) is one of the two main Jain traditions. The word means “sky‑clad,” i.e., wearing the sky as the only garment.

Key points:

• Monastic ideal: Digambar monks practice complete non‑possession, so they do not wear clothes. They keep only the picchī (soft peacock‑feather whisk) and a kamaṇḍalu (water gourd). Digambar nuns (āryikās) are clothed.
• Idol style: Tīrthankar images are unadorned and nude, with a serene, detached look, usually in kāyotsarga (standing meditation) or padmāsana (lotus posture). No ornaments or glass eyes are used.
• Scriptures and teachers: Classical texts revered include Ṣaṭkhaṇḍāgama and Kaṣāyapāhuḍa; foundational ācāryas include Kundakunda, Samantabhadra, Pūjyapāda, Akalaṅka, and Nemichandra.
• Practice emphasis: Strong stress on aparigraha (non‑possession), tapas (austerity), careful alms practice (bhojan in the palms), and daily kāyotsarga.
• Doctrinal distinctions (Digambar vs. Śvetāmbara):

- Monastic dress: nude vs. white‑clad. - Text history: differences about which ancient scriptures survived. - Women’s liberation: Digambar doctrine says a woman cannot attain kevalajñāna/mokṣa in this era without rebirth as a man; Śvetāmbara holds that women can attain liberation.
