Kandy Tuesday after Esala — is Maligawa just a temple morning or are leftover drums still a thing

We skipped the last days of Esala and landed 1 Sep. Hotel near the lake. Partner thinks there might still be a night procession. I think it ended Friday 28th. Need an honest Tuesday: courtyard hours, shoes, shoulders, not a festival timetable I will invent.

Esala is over. Friday 28 Aug was the end. 1 Sep is an ordinary Tuesday. Maligawa is a temple: shoes off, shoulders and knees covered, no drone, no speech in the courtyard. Go in the morning if you want less heat on the stone. There is no leftover Randoli to hunt. Anyone selling a 'special Tuesday kerb' is selling air.

We walked the lake at dusk. Ordinary Kandy. Fine. No drums to wait for.

If you missed it, you missed it. Do not pay a balcony for a cortege that already went home.

Cover up, leave bags if they ask, be decent. That is the whole note.

Screenshot the pin while you still have data. Arrivals halls eat signal.

A stall bun beats a hotel breakfast you will resent.
