In Jain Dharma, “types of Jains” usually means the main traditions and communities within Jainism.

Main traditions

1. Digambar Jain

- Follow the Digambar tradition. - Emphasize complete renunciation and non-possession. - Their monks generally practice nudity as a sign of total detachment.

1. Shwetambar Jain

- Follow the Shwetambar tradition. - Monks and nuns wear white clothes. - This tradition has several sub-traditions.

Major Shwetambar sub-traditions

1. Murtipujak

- Worship Jain idols in temples.

1. Sthanakvasi

- Do not worship idols. - Practice meditation and scripture study in prayer halls called sthanaks.

1. Terapanthi

- A reformist branch of Sthanakvasi. - Strong emphasis on discipline, simplicity, and the guidance of one Acharya.

Other common community groupings

Jains are also sometimes identified by regional or sectarian communities such as:

• Oswal
• Porwal
• Shrimal
• Agrawal
• Khandelwal

These are community groups, not separate religions.

In short

The two main types are:

• Digambar
• Shwetambar

And Shwetambar has further branches like:

• Murtipujak
• Sthanakvasi
• Terapanthi

If you want, I can also explain the difference between Digambar and Shwetambar in a simple table.
