Siblings Day 2025: Kodinhi, The Mysterious 'Twin Village' In Kerala

While Kodinhi, a village in the verdant expanse of Kerala's Malappuram district, may strike any ordinary village without a semblance of what's called ‘uncanny’ in literary terms, the village lingers undertones of mystery. The said mystery has also been its claim to fame. With an exceptionally high incidence of twin births, Kodinhi—often referred to as the “Twin Village of India”—has confounded both experts and tourists over the years. The community, which is home to some 2,000 families and contains more than 400 known pairs of twins, has drawn interest from both scientists and interested tourists. However, the phenomenon is still mostly unknown, which makes Kodinhi one of India's most fascinating travel locations.
