The Tomara (also known by other variations of that name, such as Tomar, Tanwar and Toor) are a clan of Rajputs. They belong to the Chandravanshi lineage, and claim descent from the Pandava warrior Arjuna. The Tomara clan ruled certain minor states in northern India during the 8th-12th and the 15th-16th centuries.

History

In the 8th century, the Tomaras established a state in what is now Haryana, and founded the city of Dhiliki (later Delhi) in 736. That state was defeated by the Chauhans in 1162, who in turn were defeated by Muhammad Ghori in 1194 AD. This latter event led to the founding of the Delhi sultanate.

As the sultanate weakened in the early 15th century, the Tomaras established themselves at the strategic fortress of Gwalior in northern Madhya Pradesh; the ruler Man Singh Tomara built the fortress-citadel that still stands there. The Mughal emperor Akbar captured Gwalior in 1559.

After the defeat of the Tomara state by the Chauhans in 1168 AD, some Tomars moved to Rajasthan and established a minor state centered around the town of Patan near Jaipur. Other Tomars who left Delhi settled around Panipat in Haryana. Significant numbers of Tomaras, known as Tonwar Thakurs, live in Morena District northwest of Gwalior; The district was formerly known as Tonwarghar.
