What time zone is Kandy in?
If you need the offset: Kandy is on +0530, 5 hours 30 minutes ahead of UTC, i.e. UTC+05:30. The matching IANA zone is Asia/Colombo.
Daylight saving is not observed here, so UTC+05:30 is year-round. Any seasonal drift you notice against another city comes from that city, not from Kandy.
Around 111,701 people live in Kandy, making it the 9th largest of the 11 Sri Lanka cities covered here.

When Kandy and other cities overlap
Assuming a 09:00–17:00 day at both ends, these windows (in Kandy local time) fall inside working hours for both cities.
| Mumbai | 09:00–17:00 in Kandy | 8 hours overlap |
| Dubai | 10:30–17:00 in Kandy | 6.5 hours overlap |
| Shanghai | 09:00–14:30 in Kandy | 5.5 hours overlap |
| Paris | 12:30–17:00 in Kandy | 4.5 hours overlap |
No shared working window exists with New York, Los Angeles or Sao Paulo, so those calls have to sit outside somebody's normal hours.

These Sri Lanka cities also use Asia/Colombo, so their clocks read identically to Kandy at every moment of the year.
