The 51,000-square-foot residence has a home theater, a gym, and a temple honoring Lord Venkatesh, a Hindu deity.

At the ripe age of 92, he delegated to his offspring the management of the business empire that holds his legacy.

Currently managing the business is Hari Mohan Bangur, an IIT Mumbai graduate chemical engineer.
