Answer:
Kulapati or Grihapati
Explanation:
In the earlier times, the eldest male member of the joint family was responsible for keeping every member of the family in control and for maintaining the whole family. After the eldest male member, the second in the number would become the head of the family.
This system is known as Patriarchy system, as the head of the family remained a male member but in modern times, the scenario has changed and now women also maintain a joint family, being a head.
