Pahadiya and pandya are which type of jain
Answer
Pahadiya and Pandya are
not Jain sect names. From the names alone, I
cannot reliably tell whether a family is Digambara or Śvetāmbara. In Jainism, the main divisions are Digambara and Śvetāmbara, and sect identity is based on Jain tradition and practice, not just a surname. (

Explanation
So if you saw these as people’s names, they are more likely
family surnames than a specific Jain “type.” To identify the Jain sect, you would usually need the family’s religious tradition or community background. (

Takeaway
Surname does not तय sect in Jainism. The important Jain divisions are
Digambara and
Śvetāmbara. (
