The Mysterious Village of Twins | మొత్తం కవలలు ఉండే వింత గ్రామం
Kodinhi is a village in Malappuram district in Kerala, India. The village is situated close to the town of Tirurangadi and, as of 2008, is home to around 2,000 families.
Administered by the Nannambra panchayat, the village came to international attention for the unusually large number of multiple births in the region. The village is noted for having a high twinning rate although India has one of the lowest twinning rates in the world.The first association of twins in the country, The Twins and Kins Association, was also founded in the village.
The village entered the international spotlight when a survey done by locals found an unusually large number of twin births in the region. A report by Indian Express Correspondent Mithosh Joseph had brought the attention of several people outside India to the attraction of the spot. Though initial estimates put the instance of multiple births at 100 pairs, follow-up surveys found the figure to be closer to 204 pairs (408 individuals) of twins, and two sets of triplets.
