The corner where flag-bearers bunch before the turn: return to Maligawa is when people get stupid, peel before on the last Kumbal (6:28 table) — peel or chase
Saturday 22 Aug, Kandy, last Kumbal before Randoli. Listed 6:28 PM. We are three friends who will argue on the pavement. Pin in mind: the corner where flag-bearers bunch before the turn. Return to Maligawa is when people get stupid, peel before. 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 corner where flag-bearers bunch before the turn, 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.
If you sit a table, order. Occupying shade with a bottle you brought is the rude version. Fine.
