Worth watching First Randoli from an outer ring like Katugastota or Peradeniya road instead of walking into the city crush. Family with limited standing stamina.

Outer approaches are calmer and often enough if you care about atmosphere over front-row temple photos. You will see segments without the densest crush — leave the city-core fight to people chasing the casket close-up.

Peradeniya-road timing pairs well if you already arrived by train that side.

Same for van drops on the outer connectors — watch, then leave without crossing the whole ring.
