VLAN multicast problem

I create a VLAN interface in Layer-3 Switch and configure multicast traffic over this VLAN. But the multicast traffic is always duplicated after passing the Layer-3 Switch. I checked the throughput among devices and found that the layer3 switch receives traffic from a upstream router, and sends a copy back to the router. Then it sends double traffic to downstream device. Does anyone know why the traffic is doubled? How to figure it out? Thank you!

Reason may be RPF failure . RPF failures may occur when there are multiple paths between devices that forward multicast traffic from a source to receivers, and the unicast routing topology is not congruent or the same as the data distribution tree of multicast topology.
