About the time in Mahakanda
Mahakanda follows the civil time used across its region of Sri Lanka; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
Sunrise today lands at 06:01 and sunset at 06:20 local time, giving 12h 19m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (7.23, 80.61) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Mahakanda.
The zone identifier Asia/Colombo is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Asia/Colombo keeps pointing at Colombo time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
