The palace-wall shade that is street, not courtyard: when does the cortege bend back toward Maligawa on the last Kumbal (6:28 table) — peel before the return or get stupid

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 palace-wall shade that is street, not courtyard, 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.
