SHORT HISTORY:
The derivation of the dynastic name is from tomara, an 'iron club'. They belong to the Chandravanshi race and are reckoned as one of the 36 Royal Rajput Clans.
According to legend and the puranas, the Tomara rajputs claim descent from the mythical Chandravanshi dynasty, and are the descendants of the Pandava Prince Arjuna, through his great grandson, Emperor Janamejaya, son of Emperor Parikshit. It is believed by some scholars that the Tomara rajputs were one of the ruling clan of the Gurjaras (or Gujjars) in the Gujara-Pratihara era of North India, in the 4th to the 8th centurys. Delhi was originally founded in ancient times as Inderprastha and in 736 it was rebuilt by Raja Anangpal I of the Tomar Gurjara-Rajputs, renamed Dhiliki and in due course, it became an important Kingdom in north-central India covering present-day Delhi, Haryana, and Eastern Punjab. It was significant as a large imperial state acting as a buffer between Mongol and Timurid aggression toward the rest of India. It eventually capitulated to the Chauhan rulers of Sambhar and Ajmer. The younger brothers of Raja Anangpal II (III?) (also known as Dakatpal), moved out and established their kingdoms/thikana's in Gwalior, Jaisalmer and Patan. The area of Morena, Bhind and Gwalior in northern Madhya Pradesh is referred to as "Tomarghar" meaning "Home of Tomars" due to its large population of Tomar Rajputs. They ruled in Delhi from around 736 to 1151 and also in Gwalior from 1375 to 1486. [Note: Delhi and the Iron Pillar - Mr. V.A. Smith however states that Delhi was founded in 993-994, and Anangpala, a Tomara king, built the Red Fort about 1050. In 1052 he removed the celebrated iron pillar on which the eulogy of Chandragupta Vikramaditya is incised, from its original position, probably at Mathura, and set it up in Delhi as an adjunct to a group of temples from which the Muhamaddans afterwards constructed the great mosque. (Smith, Early History of India p.386).] Rulers were...
