The only king to employ artisans and craftsmen in his royal court. "Adorned in the most sumptuous style, her bridle overlaid with gold and enamel, precious jewels around her neck, there stood Laili in the palace yard, always in the King's sight" - The Horse And The Rider by Rollo Springfield (19th Century). He was known for his nobility, most significantly his philanthropic spirit. He loved horses
and was known for his legendary horse named Laili. Laili was a sixteen-hand dappled gray mare with dark features and was magnificently caparisoned with bright colored tassels braided in her mane. She was the king’s favorite horse, and highly regarded not only for her beauty, but her powerful presence on the battlefield. The two were known for their equestrian feats among French and British generals. Today, we celebrate this noble, passionate and philanthropic spirit for the human kind through expression of SUMSARA.
