Skip Saturday 6.28 as a phase and wait for Sunday 6.44 first Randoli - lock it from 11.12
We stood the 4th. We are not asking whether Saturday is thicker (that thread closed when we were still on the kerb). We are not "sleep through Saturday with the room already held and peek Sunday." This is 11.12 in the room: skip the last Kumbal as a phase - Kumbal is done after four nights - and only do first Randoli Sunday 6.44. Lock it now so we stop bargaining with 6.28 at breakfast.

Saturday 6:28 PM = 5th / last Kumbal. Sunday 6:44 PM = 1st Randoli (phase change: palanquins, the nights that usually thicken). Skipping Saturday is a real choice, not a cancellation - no Saturday cancellation at 11:25. If you skip, skip: do not "just check the window at 18:20." Sunday 6:44 is the honest next night.
Tell the house tonight if Saturday night is still needed. A skip-Saturday that keeps the room is sleep. A skip-Saturday that dumps the room and hopes for Sunday walk-in is how you stand 6:44 from a bag. Screenshot listing prices. No invented extra-night fee.
We skipped the last Kumbal, stood first Randoli, did not feel cheated. The relic is the relic. No invented gallery fee.
