Digambara (meaning sky clad) sect one of the two principal sects of the Indian religion Jainism, whose male ascetics shun all property and wear no clothes. In accordance with their practice of nonviolence, the monks also use a peacock-feather duster to clear their path of insects to avoid trampling them.
Svetambara means “white-clad”, that's why they wear white clothes. Beacuse they believe that the white clothes are free from dust and germs .
