After Final Randoli, Diya at 1:28 AM. Listed 1:28 AM — be there at 1 or at midnight?

Agree a tuk drop on Peradeniya Road or Katugastota Road, not on Raja Veediya at 1:28 AM. The grid is cones and shoulders. SWRD Bandaranaike Mawatha lake bend you reach on foot with bottles already bought. Diya is a water-cutting ritual at 1:28 AM, not a second Grand Randoli. If you need sleep, skip it and do Dahawal at 2:18 PM. Do not invent a tourist ticket for it. Then tea, then the room.
We used a baby carrier, not a stroller, on SWRD Bandaranaike Mawatha lake bend for Final Randoli. Stroller people were parked in doorways looking miserable. Carrier was the whole trick. Kids change the trade.
Cash before you sit. The stall behind SWRD Bandaranaike Mawatha lake bend wants notes. Card machines pretend to exist. Call the desk before you guess a late checkout.
