Kanak's grand pop was "munimji" to Madan Shumshere who was married to Maharani Jagadamba. Jagadamba had brought with her a whole lot of jewelry as dowry as she was a daughter of the Maharaja of Benares. Since Maharani Jagadamba did not have any issue, the Dixits usurped the property at Patan Dhoka and all the valuables. Rato Bangala is part of that legacy.
