About the time in Makulla
Makulla sits at latitude 6.98, 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.
Sunrise today lands at 05:58 and sunset at 06:17 local time, giving 12h 19m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (6.98, 81.38) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Makulla.
Makulla follows the civil time used across its region of Sri Lanka; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
