As the legend goes Devi Ahalya was the wife of Rishi Gautam. According to the stories of the great epic Ramayana, Devi Ahalya by mistake once identified a person in disguise as her husband. This annoyed Rishi Gautam so much that he turned Devi Ahalya into stones. The temple of Ahirauli, Buxar in Bihar reminds people of the innocence of the Devi. The petrified Devi was after many years rescued by the graceful Lord Ramachandra who saw her while he was passing by. The stone turned to real Devi Ahalya as soon as the Lord touched it.
Ahirauli, Buxar of Bihar is a place of pilgrimage. People come here from far and wide to get rid of all their sins committed whether knowingly or unknowingly. The people living in and around Ahirauli, Buxar firmly believe that the Lord is always with them to keep them far apart from all the curses and to protect them from all the adversities of life.
If you go to Ahirauli in Bihar you can feel the intense devotion and faith of the people towards the epic Ramayana and the love for their great hero Ramachandra. It is really amazing and can never be believed until and unless you go to Ahirauli, Buxar in Bihar that after the passage of so many hundreds of years a person can still have such a high level of popularity as Lord Rama.
