One of the uniqueness of this place is the matter of fact that after the Lord appared here, he married one of the local tribe girls, who was no other then Bhumi devi. She is shown with Him, either without breastband (as normally bhudevi is shown in iconography), or with a bow and arrow to hunt. It is not just the local belief, but also very much accepted in the Vaishnava world tradition. Works on this marriage by a very respected sannyasi from the 16th century, references in some of the prayers to the Lord and the carvings in and around the different Ahobilam shrines and temples from those days, show the proof.
