Swetambar n their types
179
Śvetāmbara Jainism (white-clad Jains) is one of the two main Jain traditions. Within Śvetāmbara, there are three primary sub-sects:
- Murtipujaka (Deravasi / Mandir-Mārgi)
- Sthanakavāsī
- Terāpanthī
Notes:
- Śvetāmbara is distinct from Digambara (the other main Jain tradition). Digambaras have their own practices and scriptures.
- These sub-sects share core Jain beliefs but differ mainly in worship styles (idol worship vs. non-idol worship) and organizational structure.
