Anyone else still stuck on Dalada Veediya - is Final Kumbal still going
We've been pinned near Dalada Veediya for ages and can still hear drums and see the glow ahead. Schedule said 6:28 start. Partner swears it must be wrapping by now. Anyone actually on the route - is the Final / 5th Kumbal still moving, or are we stuck in leftovers.

Official YouTube Final Kumbal stream is still live - started around 6:30 Colombo and had not ended when I checked. Mid-procession energy, not a wrap post.
Street side: drums still loud from our side of the loop. If you can hear them you are not late for nothing - last elephants are often the slowest stretch.
Maligawa schedule listed 5th Kumbal Sat 6:28 PM. Streams run long past that clock. Do not leave just because a friend thinks two hours is the max.
