An hours' drive away from Aizawl - the capital city of Mizoram, is Tlangnuam Baktawng village which houses about 300 families and 2000 followers of the Christian denomination known as the 'Lalramkawngpuizawhtu'. Under this sect, a man is allowed to have more than one wife or solemnize plural marriages on the basis of mutual consent, understanding, respect for each other and most of all -- love. The principle of 'Lalramkanwgpuizawhtu' bears a similarity with Mormon fundamentalism or The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The term 'Lalramkawngpuizawhtu' in the local Mizo dialect means 'The followers of God' and their place of worship is called 'Hnamthlanrunpui'. The head of this Christian sect is, a 69 year old practicing polygamist, surrounded by a gaggle of women round the clock. According to sources and family members, Ziona has 39 wives, 86 children, 14 daughters in-law and 34 grand-children all living under one roof in a huge mansion which they lovingly call 'Chhuanthar Run' meaning 'House of the new generation'. All together, the 174 members of the Ziona family live in Chhuanthar Run or in short (C.T.R), a rather military-like fashion. Chhuanthar Run is a huge four-floor building with 22 rooms. Once you step into the house,the kitchen to the left and a large spacious drawing-cum-dining room await you on the second level. While the married sons sleep in separate rooms attached to each other on the third floor, there is a dormitory exclusively for Ziona's eldest son. Ziona has his own plush and lavishly decorated room on the second floor. The younger wives sleep in a dormitory right next to Ziona while the older wives sleep farther away. The wives take turns to visit him when they are summoned. Ziona owns Tlangnuam Baktawng village, Chhuanthar Stadium, Chhuanthar primary school, Chhuanthar High school, poultry farms, piggeries and vegetable gardens but the bulk of his income comes from his profitable furniture business, for at the end of the day, Ziona is a carpenter. From building a simple house to building the roads in the village, Ziona is the mastermind. He leads full days from early morning to nightfall, working at his businesses, his belief and religious system, for his fellow villagers and for his family. One day he is involved with building the village road and the other day he gets occupied at his carpentry workshop. The family has three major furniture workshops and whatever profits they yield are handed over to Ziona. They readily share their hard-earned money with the head of the family as it is for the joint maintenance and benefit of the family as a whole. The furniture products are supplied to nearby towns, the main market being Aizawl itself. Meanwhile, the womenfolk of Ziona's family are occupied with rearing pigs, which are the source of a major portion of the family's earnings. Ziona's family eats the vegetables that they grow. The plantations include spinach, cabbage, mustard, chilly and broccoli using natural and pig-based manure. The family normally consumes 50 kilograms of rice for lunch and 40 kilograms for dinner, altogether using 90 kilograms per day. The Photo session: Gathering the largest family in the world together to take a group photograph is a difficult task because they are all scattered across the town as they take charge of their given duties and responsibilities. This morning, we wait for the entire family to turn up for the photo-shoot. And just as we planned, after the morning church session gets over, the members of the world's largest family appear one by one. In less than a few minutes, Ziona and his family are ready to say 'cheese' to the camera. And once you see the whole family together, one just wonders how Ziona manages to keep his entire family as one unit. OK, this may not be the reason you're that proud of Mizoram but it does bring the state into the news, so let's see just why...

Reply 6 Юля Чекан Юля Чекан7 months ago He has 39 wives, it is not normal. Because of his behavior 38 men were left alone. While he has only 94 children, 1.5 children per woman. This is below the population replacement level. Here in Europe, really cool. In England, one husband and one wife of 19 children. In Ukraine, one husband and one wife of 21 children. In Russia, one husband and one wife of 20 children Read more Reply 3 Suresh Pathaks Suresh Pathaks1 year ago this is clearly a wrong example to be set by any man,this happen when you don't control your sexual force which unlimited,,only a god can accept many wives, this man is not a god, certainly a wrong example to be set in the society,i consider this to be a offense Reply 3 Saurav Shaw Saurav Shaw1 year ago Which god has many wives...dashrath?hes not god he is king..kings used to have many wives ..krishna had many lovers but one wife.i dont know which god u r talking about.Anyway I support u in not supporting polygamy.I cant relate to that concept at all & its weird. Reply Precious Reading Precious Reading2 years ago what happens if every one on this earth starts to expand family size in this way? castrate this man at once because earth needs be equally habited by all not only by his blood . one should be allowed only to have a son and a doughter no matter how many wifes or husbands are allowed to keep. such selfish ideology and practice needs be brought under full controll by law urgently. remember that this earth is not in shortage of population and population is not a chicken or a pig farm like his's which can be easily spended for meat. castrate this man at once. Read more Reply 3 Nialee Mass Nialee Mass2 years ago it is a promotion for women use and abuse, whatever they say, being women and sister of polygamy women, I can tell you, they are not happy, they just learn to never hope for better but being used physically in bed, in the kitchen, on the field, in relationships to get favors... the Men God on earth: abominations...the Bible itself quotes many examples of great men who were destroyed, tainted, manipulated because of their desire for many women...Abraham, Jacob, etc and especially the consequences on the lives of their children. By the way, I know you didn't go to Africa to say that this is the ;largest family in the world... Read more Reply 2 Daniel Khiyungdzuzu Daniel Khiyungdzuzu1 year ago AIDS and HIV comes to mind..
