An Indian family with 162 members could be one of the largest living together under one roof.

Ziona, the 66-year-old head of the family, has 32 wives and 94 children of his own and his house is also home to his sons’ children, according to a report in The Times of India.

The extremely large family all live together in one building, located 62 miles from Mizoram, eastern India, in which Ziona's wives use the one kitchen to cook the whole family's meals.

"We prepare 30 to 35 kilograms (66 to 77 pounds) of pork when we want to eat meat and require around 50 kilograms of rice for dinner," one of Ziona’s wives told the newspaper.

Ziona is head of the "Chana" sect, which practices a blend of democracy and communism.
