The '''Sarawagi''' or '''Saraogi''' or '''Sarawgi''' [[Jainism|Jain]] community, meaning a Jain [[Śrāvaka (Jainism)|Śrāvaka]], is also known as the '''Khandelwal'''.<ref>Khandelwal Jati ka Vrihat Itihas (Hindi), Kasturchand Kasliwal</ref> They originated from [[Khandela]], a historical town in northern Rajasthan.

The Sarawagi community owes its name to a strong historical association with Jainism. Also technically the term Sarawagi or shravaka is applicable to all Jains, the Khandelwal Jains is the only community that has used it extensively, although the term is sometimes also used by Jain Agrawals in Rajasthan.

The Khandelwals have 84 divisions. The legendary origin of these divisions is given in a 17th-century book, "Shravakotpatti Varnanam".<ref>Given in Brahmanotpatti Marthanda, Hari Krishna Shastri</ref> It mentions how the ruler Girakhandel of Khandela was planning to sacrifice one thousand Jain monks in a naramedha [[yajña]]. However, with the assistance of goddess [[Chakreshvari]], [[Jain monasticism|muni]] [[Jinasena]]<ref>P. 109 ''The A to Z of Jainism'' By Kristi L. Wiley</ref> persuaded the ruler to give up violence. The ruler along with his eighty-three chiefs became Jain Śrāvakas, giving rise to eighty-four [[gotra]].

==Organizations==

The Khandelwal Digambar Jain Mahasabha was founded by Lunkaran Pandya of Jhalarapatan and Padam Chand Benara of Agra (both then living in [[Bombay]]) on Feb. 28, 1916 in Bombay.<ref>Khandelwal Digambar Jain Mahasabha ka sankshipta itihas,

It has recently several published directories. So far the community count has been done for 1794 towns with 29,944 families and 185,556 individuals. This does not include the city of Jaipur, which is the largest center.
