    Jainism was divided into two sects. They were Svetambara and Digambara. The Digambara (meaning sky-clad) sect and the Svetambara (meaning white clad) sect. Digambar Jain monks do not wear clothes because they believe clothes are like other possessions, increasing dependency and desire for material things, and desire for anything ultimately leads to sorrow.  The Svetambara wore white clothes and covered their bodies as per their monastic discipline.
