5th Kumbal 6:28 at the hotel service lane behind Dalada, exit first — no drone, no flash at a conserved platform, phone only, no flash
Saturday 22 Aug, Kandy, last Kumbal before Randoli. Listed 6:28 PM. We are toddler whose home bedtime is half-seven. Pin in mind: the hotel service lane behind Dalada, exit first. No drone, no flash at a conserved platform. Street if we can. No municipal ticket I will invent. Water already in the bag.

Do the courtyard in the morning, the street at night. Cover up, shoes off inside. Do not cut through the grounds as a shortcut when the street blocks. No drone, no flash at a conserved platform. 5th Kumbal at 6:28 PM is a street event. A suburban Colombo temple night is not an extra Kandy night. Kumbal is a real night, not a failed Randoli. Saturday 22 Aug is the last Kumbal; Randoli nights follow after this.
Locals stay where they can stand. Pride argues with a pole and then buys a plaster.
We peeled before the return. The crush after the last drummers is when people get stupid. Named the fare.
