Tomara Dynasty

Tomara Dynasty

▪ Indian dynasty
      one of the minor early medieval ruling houses of northern India. The family is known from scattered sources, and it is impossible to reconstruct its history in any detail. Purāṇic evidence gives the early location in the Himalayan region. According to bardic tradition, the dynasty was one of the 36 Rājput tribes. The history of the family spans the period between the reign of Anaṅgapāla, who founded the city of Delhi in the 11th century AD, and the incorporation of Delhi within the Cāhamāna kingdom in 1164. Although Delhi subsequently became decisively a part of the Cāhamāna kingdom, numismatic and comparatively late literary evidence indicates that such Tomara kings as Anaṅgapāla and Madanapāla continued to rule as feudatories, presumably until the final conquest of Delhi by the Muslims in 1192–93.
