History

[change | change source]

The Tomaras claim descent from the Chandravanshi (Lunar) dynasty kings especially Arjuna from Mahabharata.[12][13] Earlier the Tomars were known as 'Tur' which later changed to 'Tanwar' and later to 'Tomar’.[14] Moreover, Delhi was named after King Dhilu Tomar who named Delhi firstly as Dhillika.[15]

Tomar Rajput villages are found in large numbers in Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Gujrat. The most popular are the places like Bhind, Morena of Madhya Pradesh and the Satha Chaurasi(84) region of the western Uttar Pradesh which has 84 villages of Tomar Rajputs and 60 villages of the Shisodia Rajputs.[16][17]
