The role of the pharaohs is that they have absolute power over their kingdom. So they basically could say that the people in his kingdom to wear purple on Fridays, green on Thursday, blue on Wednesday, and crab walking on Mondays.
The king was the "high priest of every god of Egypt", and as such was the religious leader of the state as well being the governing head. In theory, the pharaoh performed the daily ritual to every god - purifying, clothing etc the statue of the god - three times a day, though in reality the height priest of each temple did this in substitution of the king.
The pharaoh was also a religious symbol of the people as he was the intermediary between them and the gods, as shown in reliefs where his image was painted lower than the gods' but higher and much larger than ordinary citizens. Though known to be mortal, he was regarded as divine. It was believed that all pharaohs were a descendant of the early gods, and became a facet of the god Horus upon taking the throne. When they died, they became a semi-god in the afterlife and a manifestation of the god Osiris.
