Baktawng (Mizoram), June 18: This family with 162 members can easily be one of the largest living together under one roof in this picturesque village, about 100 kms from here.
The head of the family and leader of the ‘Chana’ sect, 66-year-old Ziona, has 38 wives and 94 children with some of his sons having married and having children of their own living together in a building named ?Chhuan That Run? or the House of the new Generation.
One of Ziona?s wives told PTI that though their sons lived in different rooms in the building they all share the kitchen where they cook for the entire family.
“We prepare 30 to 35 kilo of pork when we want to eat meat and require around 50 kilo of rice for dinner,” she said.
The members of the sect numbering almost 3,000 live in around 350 houses.
