Rooms already held Sat and Sun - stand 6.28 then 6.44 back-to-back or is that cruelty
Not pick-one-night. Not Monday 7.00 as recovery. We already hold both nights. Saturday last Kumbal 6:28, Sunday first Randoli 6:44 - sixteen minutes later on the clock, twenty-four hours later on the body. Stand both because we paid, or stand Saturday and sleep Sunday's start, or the reverse.

They are different phases sixteen minutes apart on the start clock. Standing both is what locals and devotees do. It is also how tourists become the 10.30 wreck of the next night. If you can only be good for one, Sunday 6:44 is the phase change. If the last Kumbal is the unfinished business from tonight, Saturday 6:28 is the close.
Back-to-back only works with a real sleep Saturday late, not a 1am debrief and a 5.30 Tooth (other threads). Pick the night you will actually stand, not the night you paid for as a guilt tax.
We stood both. Sunday we sat further back and it was still worth it. Hydrate like it is a job.
