He also has a collection of other antique products, including a black conch shell, among other things.

"I have a very old hand-written Ramayana. I have a table which is about 175-years-old. It was auctioned during the First World War in Burma. It passed generations before the table was gifted to me," said Mr Dhunanda.

The businessman is not all alone in taking care of the wonderful collection of antiques he has. He also receives the support of his family members, who encourage and help him in more ways than one.
