Ahilya Asthan

Ahilya Asthan is famous for a historical temple. It is situated about 3 Km south to Kamtaul Railway Station in Jale Block of Darbhanga District. When Lord Rama was on his way to Janakpur  his feet touched a stone and it turned into a woman who was non else but Ahilya.
Her husband Gautam Rishi had cursed Ahilya to turn into stone. The injustice done to the wife Ahilya by her husband , Rishi Gautam who was himself the author of "Nyay Sutra" is simply unforgettable  but it all happened due to a conspiracy and mischief and most ungodly behaviour of God Indra.

Lord Shiva had to intervene and Lord Vishnu had to incarnate as Rama to get the injustice undone.
