The king was the head of administration. He was assisted by a council of ministers.

The empire was divided into provinces or 'bhuktis'. Princes were often appointed as the governors of provinces. They were assisted by many officers. The provinces were further divided into districts or 'vishayas'. The 'ayuktas' administered the districts. There was also a district council in each district which helped in administering the district. The village was the lowest administrative unit. It was looked after by the elders of the village.
