Here's a clear, concise comparison of the two main Jain sects: Digambaras and Śvetāmbaras.

1) Monastic practice (what monks and nuns wear)

• Digambaras: Monks are traditionally sky-clad (nudist) with no clothes, emphasizing non-attachment and renunciation. Nuns also follow rigid rules of renunciation.
• Śvetāmbaras: Monks wear white clothing (and some carry few items). Nuns wear white clothing as well. This difference in dress is a major visible distinction between the sects.

2) Women in the monastic lineage (bhikṣu/ bhikṣuṇī)

• Digambaras: Historically, the Digambara line is associated with a traditional view that full ordination for women (bhikṣuṇī) was interrupted in the past; many Digambara communities do not recognize a fully recognized bhikṣuṇī lineage. Female renunciants, when present, pursue non-ordained or differently regulated paths in some communities.
• Śvetāmbaras: Śvetāmbara tradition upholds a complete bhikṣuṇī lineage (full ordination for women) and emphasizes female monastic ordination as an established path within their order.

3) Scriptures and canonical sources

• Digambaras: They traditionally emphasize a set of Agama texts that they claim were preserved in an unaltered form. They generally do not accept some Anga‑texts that the Śvetāmbaras include, and they revere certain scriptures in their own order.
• Śvetāmbaras: They rely on a broader collection of Agamas and Upagamas, many of which they consider canonical. They use different catalogues and commentaries, and they recognize a wider assortment of scriptures in daily practice and ritual.

4) Attitudes toward the Jain canon and temple practice

• Digambaras: Their overall approach to monastic rules, including vows and micro‑rules, tends to be more austere in certain aspects (reflecting the sky‑clad symbol of renunciation). They may emphasize detachment from material aids and strict adherence to austerities for monks.
• Śvetāmbaras: They emphasize ritual and temple worship with a broader set of devotional practices. Their monastic rules are aligned with the white-clad tradition and often include emphasis on community rituals, festivals, and temple ceremonies.

5) Iconography and pilgrimage

• Digambaras: Iconography and temple worship can reflect their emphasis on renunciation and often austere monastic life.
• Śvetāmbaras: Their temples and devotional art often reflect a slightly more accessible, community‑oriented approach to worship, with emphasis on congregational rituals and festivals.

6) Daily practice and rituals (general patterns)

• Both sects share core Jain beliefs: ahimsa (non-violence), aparigraha (non-attachment), anekāntavāda (many‑sidedness of truth), and the goal of kevala jñāna (omniscience) and liberation.
• Daily practices differ mainly in the form of dress for monks, the status of bhikṣuṇī ordination, and the scriptural canons each tradition emphasizes. Rituals during festivals like Paryushan and Mahavir Jayanti are observed by both, but the specific liturgy, recitations, and temple customs may differ according to sectarian tradition.

7) Key beliefs in practice

• Both sects agree on the essential path to liberation: right faith, right knowledge, and right conduct; strict non‑violence; and the path of self‑discipline.
• The differences are largely about outer expression (dress, ordination lines) and which scriptures are considered canonical in daily life and monastic discipline.

If you’d like, I can share more detailed points on a specific area (for example, a side‑by‑side on scriptures, or a deeper look at monastic rules) and I can point to Jain knowledge materials that discuss those exact topics.
