About the time in Galkanda
Galkanda follows the civil time used across its region of Sri Lanka; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
Sunrise today lands at 05:57 and sunset at 06:16 local time, giving 12h 19m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (7.16, 81.57) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Galkanda.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Galkanda day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 03:30–11:30 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
