Answer

“Pagaria” is generally understood as a Jain surname/community name, and it is most commonly associated with the Śvetāmbara Jain tradition, especially among Jain business communities in western India.

Explanation

In Jain society, surnames like Pagaria usually indicate a family lineage, regional background, or community identity. However, a surname alone does not always clearly prove:

• whether the person is Śvetāmbara or Digambara,
• which gaccha, sampradāya, or sect they follow,
• or how religiously practicing the family is.

So, Pagaria is generally Jain, but the exact Jain sect may depend on the family’s tradition.

Takeaway

Pagaria is commonly connected with Śvetāmbara Jain families, but for certainty, one should ask the family about their specific Jain tradition, guru-paramparā, or temple affiliation.
