The Śvetambara is one of the two main branches of Jainism, the other being the Digambara. Śvetambara "white-clad" is a term describing its ascetics' practice of wearing white clothes, which sets it apart from the Digambara "sky-clad" Jains, whose ascetic practitioners go naked.

Hope this helps you out....

Please mark me as brainlist....it is quite urgent...

Shvetambara, (Sanskrit: “White-robed,” or “White-clad”)also spelled Shwetambara, one of the two principal sects of Jainism, a religion of India. The monks and nuns of the Shvetambara sect wear simple white garments. This is in contrast to the practice followed by the parallel sect, the Digambara (“Sky-clad”), which does not admit women into the ascetic order and whose monks are always nude.
