what are similarities betn saitwal and rajsthani and gujarti other than jain core beliefs

Here are some cultural similarities among Saitwal, Rajasthan (Rajsthani) Jains, and Gujarati Jains, beyond Jain core beliefs:

• Trade and business orientation

- All three groups have strong ties to trade, professions, and business networks, which is a common social pattern among many Jain communities. You can see examples of community-centered business and charitable activity in Saitwal and related Jain groups.

• Language and regional cultural spillovers

- They inhabit regions where local languages and Prakrit-influenced Jain terms are common (Marathi/Kannada/Hindi in Maharashtra and Karnataka for Saitwal; Gujarati in Gujarat; Rajasthani/Marwari-influenced speech in Rajasthan). This leads to shared vocabulary, festivals, and community practices heard in derasar life and social events. For example, Gujarati Shwetambar Jains and Rajasthan/Jain Sangh organizations reflect regional linguistic and cultural blends.

• Shared temple-going and festival rhythm

- All three communities participate in a common Jain festival calendar (Paryushan, Mahavir Jayanti, Diwali-related observances) and frequent derasar visits, pilgrimages to regional tirthas, and Jain education programs organized by community groups. See examples of Rajasthan and broader Jain organizational life.

• Social organization and lineage/self-help networks

- Each group often organizes through mandals, sangh or trust structures to support education, temple maintenance, scholarships, and cultural programs. Saitwal and Rajasthan Jain Sangh pages show such community networks in action.

• Kuldevi/deity-centered family traditions (regional flavor)

- While reverence is primarily to Tirthankaras, many Gujarati and Rajasthan Jains maintain family-level Kuldevi traditions that vary by gotra and town, reflecting regional heritage and lineage practices. This is a common pattern shown in Gujarati Shwetambar families and related Jain communities.

Note: If you want, I can point to more specific cultural practices (dress, wedding customs, food habits) that are shared across these communities while still respecting the differences between Digambar and Shwetambar traditions.
