Second Kumbal listed 6:41 - Dalada Veediya pavement or the Sangaraja Mawatha bend
We stood Raja Veediya last night for first Kumbal and mostly saw backs. Desk says second Kumbal is listed 6:41. Is Dalada Veediya the actual line tonight, or is the Sangaraja Mawatha bend a kinder gap with kids. First timers still, no balcony budget.

Hold Dalada Veediya if you want the actual line. The bend is a side view of umbrellas. 6:41 is the listed start, not a promise the first elephant is on the kerb at 6:41. Arrive early, sit low, zip the water.
Maligawa-side pavement fills first because last night already taught people. If you are late, take the bend and be honest you will see flags and backs.
We held Dalada for two hours last night by accident. Worth it. Friends on Sangaraja got a nice photo of a drum and a lot of shoulders.
