Story behind the curse in next slide
Long ago, in the forests of ancient India, lived two young vanara named Nal and Neel.
They were no ordinary vanaras, Nal was the son of Vishwakarma, and Neel was the son of Agnidev, Despite their divine lineage, they were playful and naughty, often causing trouble for the sages living in the forests.

Nal and Neel had a peculiar habit. They loved to play near rivers, streams, and lakes. One of their favorite pranks was to snatch items belonging to the sages and throw them into the water.
One day, a group of sages was performing a sacred ritual on the banks of a river. They had carefully placed their kamandalas deerskin mats, and other ritual items nearby.

When the sages were deep in meditation, Nal and Neel sneaked in quietly, snatched the sacred items, and tossed them into the flowing river.
“Look! The kamandala is floating away!” laughed Nal.
“And the deerskin mat too!” chuckled Neel.
They found great joy in watching the sacred objects drift downstream. The sages, however, were furious when they saw what the two young vanaras had done.

The sages confronted Nal and Neel.
“How dare you disrupt our sacred rituals and play with our belongings?” they thundered.
Nal and Neel, despite knowing they had done wrong, stood unrepentant. “We were just playing,” they said with mischievous grins.
The sages were not amused. They decided to teach the two vanaras a lesson.

We curse you!” declared the chief sage.
“From this day forward, whatever you throw into the water will never sink. It will float instead, no matter how heavy it is.”
Nal and Neel were puzzled by the curse. They didn’t realize that this curse would one day become a great blessing for the world.

Years passed, and Nal and Neel grew into strong and capable warriors in the vanara army of King Sugriva. When Shri Rama sought Sugriva’s help to rescue Sita from Ravana, Nal and Neel joined the mission.
After Ravana abducted Mata Sita and took her to Lanka, Shri Rama and his army faced a major obstacle the vast ocean that separated them from the island.
They needed a way to cross the ocean, but it seemed impossible.

It was then that Hanuman remembered the curse of Nal and Neel.
“Prabhu,” Hanuman said, “there are two warriors in our army, Nal and Neel, who were once cursed by sages. They have the power to make stones float on water.”
Shri Rama turned to Nal and Neel. “Is this true?”
“Yes, my Lord,” they replied. “We will do whatever it takes to help you rescue Maiya Sita.”

Shri Rama turned to Nal and Neel. “Is this true?”
“Yes, my Lord,” they replied. “We will do whatever it takes to help you rescue Maiya Sita.”
Under the guidance of Shri Rama and Nala, the vanaras began gathering huge stones and trees. As Nal and Neel threw them into the ocean, the stones miraculously floated instead of sinking.
The vanaras worked tirelessly, building the Ram Setu (Rama’s Bridge) across the ocean. It stretched from Rameswaram in India to Lanka, creating a path for Lord Rama’s army to cross.

The curse that once seemed like a punishment turned out to be a blessing for the entire world. Nal and Neel’s power to make stones float played a crucial role in the success of Shri Rama’s mission to defeat Ravana and rescue Mata Sita.
