Where any aliased command is stored? If I am aliasing "ls" as "l" then where will that aliased be stored? Does it affect .bashrc or .cshrc?

There is no persistence for aliased commands - so if you 'alias l ls' and then exit bash, the alias is lost.
If you want them to persist, put them in ~/.bashrc

The alias is lost because it’s stored in memory for the shell process. Making them persist, as wef points out, means that a shell process reads a configuration file at startup to store desired configurations in memory.
