Question

the _____ wore white dress and covered their mouths with a piece of white cloth​

Answer 1

Answer:

The white thing that Jains wear is called mukhvastrika or muhpati. This is a custom as well as there is a reason for this cultural practice. Jainism believes in nonviolence and thus many of its practices and rituals are have so miniscule reasons that it takes care that the smallest of living creature is not hurt in day to day activities. While it believes on non violence it also believes in living a life such a way that no natural resources are over exploited for our survival.
