Instead of relying on the services of trained bureaucracy, the king personality supervised the administration, constantly toured the provinces and extended justice to all.
The royal tours were not merely confined to urban areas, but rural areas also received equal attention. The tours were conducted in the manner of state processions accompanied by music and drums during marching. No other king was allowed to use such “music pace drums”.
During the tours he punished the evil doers and established contact with the people. The tours were only suspended during rainy season. In this way he need to keep contact with public opinion.
He took upon himself the duties of a royal inspector and listened to complaints inspected general working of the administration and also made donations.
King:
King occupied the highest position in the administration. King used to adopt the titles of ‘Param-Bhattarak’, ‘Parmeshwar’ ‘Paramdevta’, ‘Maharajadhiraj’ etc. The king was despot and absolute and enjoyed the supreme position in the state.
