Tomar or Tanwar (also called Tomara) is a clan name, some members of which ruled parts of North India at different times. They are Rajputs and claim Chandravanshi descent. Most of their population is primarily concentrated in Delhi, Haryana-Torawati and Western UP. There exist 84 villages of Tomars in Western UP alone. Besides, some areas in Northern Madhya Pradesh like Morena, Bhind and Gwalior are referred to as "Tomargarh" meaning "Fort of Tomars" due to quite large population of Tomar Rajputs outside Delhi and its surrounding areas. Some notable Tomar Rajput rulers are: Anangpal Tomar, ruler of the Tomara dynasty of Delhi Ramshah Tanwar, a Tomar ruler who fought as an ally of Maharana Pratap along with his three sons, grandson and 300 soldiers against Mughal ruler Akbar in the Battle of Haldighati Man Singh Tomar, ruler of Gwalior, who defended his kingdom for nearly two decades against relentless attacks from the Lodi dynasty
