Digambara (;
Sanskrit "sky-clad") is one of the two major
schools of Jainism, the other being
Svetambara (white-clad). The word
digambara is a combination of two words:
dig (directions) and
ambara (clothes). Those whose garments are the element that fills the four quarters of space are called digambara. Monks in the Digambara tradition don't wear any clothes, as it is considered
parigraha (possession) which ultimately leads to attachment.
