Jainism main denominations and some important sub-sects:

• Digambara: one of the two major Jain traditions. They practice nudity for monks and emphasize ascetic ideals as central to liberation.

• Śvetāmbara (White-clad): the other major Jain tradition. They generally wear white robes and have temple idol worship (murti-pujak) as a common practice.

Within Śvetāmbara and among Digambaras, there are notable sub-sects:

• Sthanakvasi (within Śvetāmbara): a non-idol-worshiping group that meets in sthanakas (meeting-houses) rather than temples and emphasizes meditation, study, and strict ascetic conduct.

• Terapanth (within Śvetāmbara): a reform-oriented sub-sect founded by a group led by Bhikhanji (initiated from Sthanakvasi lineage). It is known for its highly organized monastic order and the emphasis on thirteen principles (tera-pantha).

• There are also other historical and regional lineages in both Digambara and Śvetāmbara traditions, but the three above (Digambara; Śvetāmbara with Murtipujak; Śvetāmbara Sthanakvasi; Śvetāmbara Terapanth) are the major distinctions commonly referenced.

If you’d like, I can share brief Arth (meanings) of these terms or point to traditional sources that explain their practices in more detail.
