Tomara

The Tomara or Tomar were a clan of Rajputs who ruled states in northern India during the 8th -12th and the 15th-16th centuries.

In the 8th century, the Tomaras established a state in Haryana, founding the city of Dhiliki (later Delhi) in 736. The Tomaras were conquered by the Muhammad Ghori and the Sultans of Delhi at the end of the 12th century.

When the sultanate weakened in the early 15th century, the Tomaras established themselves at the strategic fortress of Gwalior in northern Madhya Pradesh, and the ruler Man Singh built the fortress citadel which still stands there. The Tomaras were conquered by the Mughal empire in the 16th century.
