Jain dharm do mukhya bhago (pramukh sampradayo) me banta hai:

• Digambar
• Shwetambar

In dono bhago ke andar kai sub-sects ya sampradaye hote hain. Shwetambar ke andar Terapanth, Sthanakvasi, Murtipujak (Swetambar) jaise kuch pramukh sampradaye milte hain, jabki Digambar mein bhi alag-alag pahchanen aur reet-rivaaj hotay hain. In sab ki vrata, pooja, mandir-vidhi aur sadhana ki kuch chhoti-moti bhinnataen hoti hain, par antim roop se dono mukhya bhag Jain dharm ki mool siddhant aur kaam ko hi aage badhate hain.
