Do Maligawa before lunch. If the line at 15:00 is already a story, bail for the kerb. Gardens close. Drums do not wait. Covers exist. Follow the board. Shoe token in the pocket. Socks for hot stone. Do not invent a 20 Aug closure. It is queues.
Hats off inside. Camera bag is your problem at the counter. They will not watch it. Skip the courtyard if you will not leave the bag.
We did the courtyard at 10:00, lobby at 17:30, short walk. Elder survived. Stacking Hantana was the greedy version.
Bahirawakanda after 6:53 is leftover light and steps. Save it. Morning is kinder.
