Sectes Digambara
Digambara (« vêtu d'espace ») est une des deux grandes subdivisions du jaïnisme, l'autre étant la branche shvetambara (« vêtu de blanc »), les deux expressions signifiant que les moines digambara sont complètement nus, tandis que les moines shvetambara portent un vêtement blanc. Cette division serait apparue en 79 av. J.C. (mais on donne aussi d'autres dates), et elle semble due essentiellement à des divergences sur des points de doctrines, renforcées par des querelles religieuses.
