About the time in Gothatuwa
Gothatuwa follows the civil time used across its region of Sri Lanka; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
Sunrise today lands at 06:04 and sunset at 06:22 local time, giving 12h 19m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (6.93, 79.90) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Gothatuwa.
Gothatuwa sits at latitude 6.93, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 19m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
