Chaturtha चतुर्थ is the biggest community (endogamous group) of Digambara Jains. According to the Digambar Jain Directory of 1914, at that time they outnumbered Agrawals and Khandelwals.
The name Chaturth derives from Kshatraru, the Kannada word for Sankrit Kshatriy.
Chaturthas are spread all over southern and western Maharashtra and northern Karnataka.
Chaturths are bilinguals, originally Kannada speakers, but now speak both Kannada and Marathi at home.
Maharashtra has the largest population of Jains of any single state in India.
Agriculture was traditionally the primary occupation among Chaturthas, but the increase in education has allowed them to branch out into fields such as teaching, medicine, business, industries, government and private services. Some of them have been Kasar.
