He wears four gold chains which together weigh around 250 grams. He has a conch shell, fish and Lord Hanuman's locket in his possession — all made from gold. Even today, Manoj wears gold jewellery weighing nearly two kilograms. Apart from this, he has a pair of golden earrings, a golden cover for his revolver and three gold belts.
