We missed the water-cutting at Gatambe overnight. Day Perahera is still at 2:18 from Asgiri. Watch that, or skip and leave Kandy this morning after already seeing Final.

Watch Day if you can hold the afternoon. Diya is not a public street show the way Day is. Missing Gatambe is normal for travelers. Final plus Day is a full set.

We skipped Day after Final and were fine. Day is shorter and hotter. Only stay if you want the daytime close.

If the next hop is the only seat today, leave. Do not invent a second Diya chance.
