 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 wereenrolled in one local school, most of them identical and same-sex. Other nearby schools report similar incidences 1.


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.

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.
