Sofa in Colombo - is the 4th Kumbal still on TV and which channel is actually showing it
8.44 in Wellawatte. Missed the 6.40 start, just saw Ada Derana say it has taken to the streets. Partner wants Rupavahini, I have the official live page showing what looks like last year's Day Perahera. Is tonight even still being broadcast at 8.45 or did we miss the relic. Which button.

Media Bureau partners Rupavahini (SLRC) and ITN for official live broadcasts, plus the Maligawa's own YouTube/Facebook/Vimeo. Ada Derana has a Perahera live-news hub and posted the 4th-on-the-streets item around 8.15. If kandyesalaperahera.com/live is spinning 2025 VODs, try Rupavahini / ITN / Ada Derana / the Maligawa Facebook before giving up. Kumbal is often still on the road at 8.45 - relic + devales, not a 20-minute clip.
Rupavahini is the traditional "parents' TV" choice. Derana if you want the news overlay. Do not pay for a random YouTube "4K Perahera 2026" with a Bitcoin overlay.
If you care enough to argue about channels at 8.44, come Saturday 6.28 or Sunday 6.44. The stream is not the whips.
Scam Watch: colombo
Driver claims the meter is broken and quotes an inflated flat rate. Common on arrival at airport or railway stations when tourists are tired and disoriented.
Drivers wearing official-looking uniforms claim to be "government-approved" and charge 3-5x normal rates. They may have fake badges or ID cards.
Women with babies approach asking you to buy milk powder at a nearby shop (not cash). The shop is run by accomplices and charges 5-10x normal price.
