The place where Ahalya is held to have practised her penance and was redeemed has been celebrated in scriptures as a sacred place called the "Ahalya-tirtha". A "tirtha" is a sacred place with a body of water, where pilgrims generally bathe to purify themselves. The location of the "Ahalya-tirtha" is disputed: according to some scriptures, it is on the river Godavari, others place it on the river Narmada. Two sites are widely held to be the "Ahalya-tirtha". One is located near Ahalyeshvara Temple in Bhalod, on the banks of the Narmada; another is located in Darbhanga district, Bihar. The "Ahilya Asthan" temple in "Ahalya-gram" ("Ahalya's village") in the same district is dedicated to Ahalya. For those seeking to attract women and be handsome like the love-god Kamadeva, the "Matsya Purana" and the "Kurma Purana" prescribe the worship of Ahalya at the "Ahalya-tirtha". This is to be done on the day of Kamadeva, in the Hindu month of Chaitra. According to the texts, he who bathes in the "tirtha" will enjoy pleasure with the celestial nymphs.
