Expert Answer
The faith of Jainism was divided into two sects after Mahavira’s death - Digambaras and Svetambaras. The Digambaras (sky clad) did not wear any clothes, followed the original teachings of Mahavira and led a life of hard penance. The Svetambaras, on the other hand, wore only white clothes and did not believe in the concept of hard penance.
