Abstract
King Vikram Singh was a great lover of art. He encouraged artists, not only those who lived in his kingdom but also those who came from abroad. Once it so happened that a great Kashmiri artist, named Rafi, appeared in his court and showed the king a variety of beautiful carpets he had woven. The king was greatly pleased and ordered Rafi to make a beautiful carpet to cover his throne. Rafi gladly agreed to do so and carefully studied the throne. The first thing which he noted was that the length of each step of the throne was equal but their widths and heights were different.
