Śvetāmbara (often written Śvetāmbara) is one of the two main Jain sects.

• Meaning of the name: Śvetāmbara means "one who wears white robes."
• Belief about texts: Śvetāmbara Jains traditionally accept a set of Jain scriptures known as the Agamas, and they place emphasis on these teachings as preserved in their monastic line.
• Practices and attire: They typically wear white clothes (in contrast to the Digambaras, who practice nudity for monks and nuns).
• Key differences from Digambaras:

- Digambara monks and nuns wear no clothes (sky-clad) and have a different view on some scriptures and canonical texts. - There are doctrinal and ritual differences that have grown over time, including differences in monastic discipline and the status of certain Jain scriptures.

• Sub-sects within Śvetāmbara: There are several sub-sects, such as Terapanth and Sthanakvasi, each with their own practices and interpretations, but all share the Śvetāmbara tradition and reverence for the Tirthankaras.

If you’d like, I can explain how Śvetāmbara and Digambara practices differ in daily devotion, festivals, or temple traditions.
