Saturday starts 6.28 not 6.40 - does twelve minutes earlier mean we leave the hotel an hour sooner
Official table: 5th Kumbal 6.28pm. Tonight was 6.40 and the kerb was already a wall at 5. Partner is doing maths like the start time is a train. Do we actually shift the whole afternoon twelve minutes or is "be on a stone by 5" still the only number that matters.

The auspicious start moving from 6:40 to 6:28 does not invent a new afternoon. The wall still builds from late afternoon because people treat "start" as "arrive." If tonight's 5pm stone worked, use 5pm again. If tonight's 5pm stone was already too late, that is a position problem, not a twelve-minute problem. Same streets.
We arrived at 4.50 Thursday and at 5.10 Friday and both felt the same after 6. The clock is for the Maligawa, not for your Uber.
Sunday Randoli is 6:44 - later, and thicker. Do not also mix that into the Saturday maths.
