The remote village of Kodinji in southern India, population about 13,500, is home to more than 100 pairs of twins, and 90% of those were born within the last 18 years. No one quite knows why, and no published study explains the phenomenon. At the last count, 20 pairs of twins were enrolled 1 in one local school, most of them identical and same-sex. Other nearby schools report similar incidences.


 As far as this village is concerned, it has a lot of twins, much more than others. Most schools have a lot of twins. We can’t pinpoint 2 the reason though.


 Born in 1993 within 12 minutes of each other, Abhi and Anu Bhaskar walk together to school every day.


 In our school, they identify us by the way we comb our hair. I comb to the left and he to the right. And I have a mark on my neck. Apart from these, I do not think there are any differences.


 One of the most popular Hindu Gods in Hindu mythology 3, Lord Rama had twin boys named Luv and Kush.


 I think it’s a blessing 4. Maybe this place is one of God’s favorite ones. Kodinji is different from other places.


 The village also has a set of identical triplets.


 The fact that the number of twin births is said to have risen substantially here during the last 20 years is puzzling. And at present, there’s no scientific explanation for the phenomenon.

Rama: a deified hero worshiped as an incarnation of Vishnu(印度教主神之一,守护之神).
