Ahalya

The famous form of the curse — that she was turned to stone and restored by the touch of Rama's foot — is one of several versions, and the treatment consulted says 'a curse' without specifying it. The record therefore says 'a curse'. What form it took, and whether she was complicit or deceived, are precisely the points the tradition argues about for two thousand years, and a record that picked one would be taking a side in a live argument.
