According to details, Ziona Chana was believed to be the head of the world's largest family has passed away at the age of 76.

Chana has left behind 38 wives, 89 children and 36 grandchildren.

Family sources revealed that his condition deteriorated at home in his village, Baktawng Tlangnuam. He was rushed to hospital on Sunday evening, where he was declared dead on arrival.

It's hard to say if Chana was indeed the head of the world's largest family since there are others who claim the title.

The family lives together in a four-storied house called "Chuuar Than Run" or New generation House, with approximately hundred rooms. His wives share a dormitory near Chana's private bedroom. The house is a major tourist site and attracts thousands of visitors every year.

Born in 1945, he met his oldest wife, who is three years older than him, when he was 17.
