Rama Setu (రామ సేతువు)
Today: Adam's Bridge, a chain of shoals between India and Sri Lanka
How do you get a whole army across the ocean? You build a bridge - out of stones that float! The vanaras Nala and Nila had a special blessing: any rock they touched would not sink. So the whole army wrote Rama's name on stones and passed them along, and even a tiny squirrel helped by rolling pebbles. In five days the bridge was done, stretching all the way to Lanka. Even today, satellite pictures show a chain of shallow sandbanks right where the story says the bridge was built.
