who are the suranas

In Jain context, “Surana” (often people say “Suranas”) usually refers to a Jain family / community surname, not to a special religious group.

• Surana is a common Jain surname, especially among Oswal Jains (a major Śvetāmbara merchant community). It functions as a family or gotra name within that community. ( jainknowledge.com)

• Religiously, Suranas follow the same Jain principles as other Jains: reverence to Tirthankars, practice of ahimsa, vrat, pratikraman, etc. The surname itself does not give any special spiritual status.

If you meant some other “Surana” (for example, a specific saint, author, or business family), tell me which one (like “Surana Jain monks” or “Surana Oswal community”), and I can describe that more clearly.
