• In Śvetāmbara Murtipujaka Jainism, there are four main active Gacchas today:

- Tapagaccha - Kharatara Gaccha - Parshvachandra (Parsva/chandra) Gaccha - Achal Gaccha (also known as Anchala Gaccha)

• There used to be many more Gacchas in history (traditionally said to be as many as 84), but most have become extinct or very small now. A note on current four Gacchas and their leadership is discussed in recent Jain Knowledge discussions. You can read more here and here .

• If you want a quick comparison between some of these Gacchas (origin, leadership, and practices), there are concise explanations available on Jain Knowledge as well. You can read more here .
