Missed Pulathisi Raja in the squeeze - is Saturday 6.28 even worth standing for the casket

We were one row too far back and a flag ate the whole Maligawa section. Ada Derana said tonight's Sacred Casket was on Pulathisi Raja and I am pretty sure that was the gold thing I saw between elbows. Partner says Saturday is the last Kumbal so the casket will be "the same but we will stand earlier." Is a second Kumbal how people actually see the relic or are we kidding ourselves and we should just wait for Sunday.

The casket goes out every Kumbal and Randoli night - Saturday 6:28 is another chance at the same Maligawa tusker tradition, still without Randoli palanquins. If the only thing you missed was the relic and you have the legs, Saturday on a thinner kerb (inland, or Raja Veediya for the homeward arm) is rational. If you missed it because the lake wall is a wall, do not repeat the wall. Sunday 6:44 is the first night that adds something.

We missed it Wednesday, saw it Thursday by standing 40 metres off the Queen's corner. Same night type. The relic is not a Saturday-only animal.

Pulathisi Raja was tonight's named tusker on Ada Derana. Do not assume the same named elephant is announced for Saturday until they say so. The casket is the constant.

Saturday inland or Raja Veediya then. Not the same wall.
