"Go and multiply." (Genesis 9:7).
This is what Ziona Chanda exactly did. Living in a country faced with problems of increasing population, Ziona Chanda did not find satisfaction in having just 1 or 2 kids, he had 94 children from 39 wives, making him the head of the world's largest family.
Chanda is the head of a Christian religious sect called "Chana," which allows him to have as many wives as he pleases. He lived in a 100-room mansion with his 39 wives, 94 children, and 33 grandchildren. His wives stayed in a communal room near his bedroom while his children lives in separate rooms in the mansion.
Living together in the mansion, the wives took turns in cooking while the daughters were responsible for cleaning the house and doing the laundry. Able-bodied sons did farming and livestock raising. So how does a large family like Chanda's survive? Aside from having their own resources, the family accepts donations which occasionally arrive. One meal would consist of 30 chickens, 130 pounds of tomatoes, and 220 pounds of rice.
This is how his children and grandchildren share their food.
To accommodate all his 39 wives, Ziona implemented a rotating schedule.
This is the dormitory-type bedroom that Ziona's 39 wives share
If you think that the wives are constantly fighting over Ziona, then you thought wrong. Huntharnghanki, one of the wives, said that the family is going gets along very well.
How about you? Can you handle 39 wives in one house?
