An entire family comprising 199 people is currently living in a four-storey building that has over 100 rooms in a town in India and they are regarded as the world largest family living under same roof.
The village of Baktawng in India’s north-eastern state of Mizoram, is home to the world’s largest known family who live under the same roof in a massive building.
Pu Ziona was the patriarch of what was generally regarded as the world’s largest family with 38 wives, 89 children, and 36 grand children.
Ziona sadly passed away in 2021, at the age of 76, due to health complications caused by hypertension and diabetes, but his family continues to live under the same roof in the impressive living complex Ziona built in the hills of Baktawng.
Few years later,the family grew in size and will always do as some of his children got wives of their own, some more than one, and the family member count now stands at 199. They all gather in the great hall of their home twice a day to eat, in a scene that looks more like a busy canteen than a family dining room.
The members share everything, from the daily workload to the food and finances, and even though everyone wants to carry on the legacy of Pu Ziona, things are changing for the world’s largest family.
According to the report, the patriarch headed a Christian sect known as Chhuan Thar Kohhran (Church of the New Generation) in the state of Mizoram before he died, and was regarded by many as a prophet and a ‘’chosen man of God.’’
The man was able to keep his large family together in one building while feeding them and clothing them,which was not an easy task
He however, made everyone in his family to get engaged either by working in one of the five family piggeries raising about 100 pigs for meat consumption, in the fields planting various crops, or laboring in one of the family’s four carpentry workshops and one aluminum workshop.
