Ahilya Mata Statue At Datta Temple, Sahastra Dhara, Jalkoti
In Hinduism, AhalyÄ ( sa, अहलà¥à¤¯à¤¾, IAST: AhalyÄ) also known as Ahilya, is the wife of the sage Gautama Maharishi. Many Hindu scriptures say that she was seduced by Indra (the king of gods), cursed by her husband for infidelity, and liberated from the curse by Rama (7th avatar of the god Vishnu). Created by the god Brahma as the most beautiful woman, AhalyÄ was married to the much older Gautama. In the earliest full narrative, when Indra comes disguised as her husband, AhalyÄ sees through his disguise but nevertheless accepts his advances.
