Considering a short afternoon Colombo hop by train from Kandy and returning in time for Second Randoli at 7:00 PM. Realistic buffer today, or too tight with festival traffic back. Not tomorrow morning Colombo train seats, and not Monday morning train after a short night.

An afternoon Colombo hop only works with a conservative return buffer — festival traffic back into Kandy punishes tight plans before 7:00 PM.
