Temple Street shade, shoes on, courtyard later: claim late and stand, or cook from four on the last Kumbal (6:28 table) — 5:30 doorway or a 3pm camp (elder with a stick, pin 126)

Street is free. Temple Street shade, shoes on, courtyard later is a real pin if you sit it from late afternoon, not from a three-o'clock cook. 5th Kumbal table 6:28 PM on Saturday 22 Aug is when they start leaving the Maligawa, not when the tusker fills the pin. One row back still sees brass; first row people who camped are wrecked before the casket. Kumbal is a real night, not a failed Randoli. Saturday 22 Aug is the last Kumbal; Randoli nights follow after this. Agree a tuk drop on Peradeniya Road or Katugastota Road, not on Raja Veediya at table time. The grid is cones and shoulders. Do not invent a municipal ticket or a city-wide viewing pass.
