The Castle Hill steps that look down, not into, the crush: live stream looks empty at table time, leave the room now or in forty minutes on the last Kumbal (6:28 table) — walk now, table is the start
Saturday 22 Aug, Kandy, last Kumbal before Randoli. Listed 6:28 PM. We are elder with a stick. Pin in mind: the Castle Hill steps that look down, not into, the crush. Live stream looks empty at table time, leave the room now or in forty minutes. Street if we can. No municipal ticket I will invent. Water already in the bag.

5th Kumbal table 6:28 PM on Saturday 22 Aug is when they start leaving the Maligawa, not when the tusker fills the pin. Drums first, dancers, then the heavy bit. Do not invent a closure on the animals; take a step back if you need air. No touching, no feeding, no selfie stick over the line. From the Castle Hill steps that look down, not into, the crush, two people back still sees the shape. Return bend is when people get stupid — peel before. Kumbal is a real night, not a failed Randoli. Saturday 22 Aug is the last Kumbal; Randoli nights follow after this.
Ask two people. The first story about the Castle Hill steps that look down, not into, the crush is not a timetable.
