This morning we might photograph the Maligawa. National mourning is 21 to 23, flags half-mast at state institutions. Partner wants a cheerful temple reel. I think half-mast weekend plus a relic morning is not a dance video. Ordinary photos, or do we leave the camera in the bag until 6:28 PM.

Mourning 21-23 Aug, flags half-mast at state institutions. Temple is a sacred site on any Saturday. No shorts-reel, no loud music, no flash in a shrine room. Camera is fine. A holiday voiceover is not. I cannot swear whether the Maligawa flag itself is half-mast this morning.

If you would not do it at a funeral house, do not do it on Dalada. 6:28 PM photos at dusk are a different dress code - still respectful, still no laser, still no shoving.
