The Śvetâmbaras represent their Tîrthankaras as clothed but in the temples of the Digambaras the images are naked. In the south are found religious monuments of two kinds known as Bastis and Bettus. The Bastis consist of pillared vestibules leading to a shrine over which rises a dome constructed in three or four stages.
