About Ahalya

According to historical records, Ahalya (Sanskrit: अहल्या, IAST Ahalyā), also known as Ahilya, is the wife of the sage Gautama Maharishi. Created by Lord Brahma as the most beautiful woman, Ahalya was married to the much older Gautama. Many Hindu scriptures say that she was seduced by Purandara, the current king of heaven (the post of king of heaven is also called Indra). Following this incident she was cursed by her husband for infidelity. Eventually, she was liberated from the curse by Lord Rama (an avatar of the Supreme Lord Krishna or Vishnu).
