The Tomars claim descent from the Puruvanshi lineage of Indraprashtha of Mahabharata times. People belonging to the Tomar clan are found among the Rajputs and the Gurjars of northern India. According to historic genelogies in puranas, the Tomars are the descendants of the Pandava prince Arjuna, through his great grandson Emperor Janamejaya, son of Emperor Parikshit.
Prince Dhritrashtra, blind by birth and the elder son of Kuru scion Vichitraveer abdicated the throne in favor of his younger brother Pandu whose sons were called Pandavs. King Pandu later abdicated the throne back to his elder brother due to his ill health. Their sons were involved in a great battle and finally Yudhishthira became the king after defeating Duyodhana.
King Yudhishtra founded the city of Indraprastha in the Kuru kingdom and later abdicated in favour of Parikshit, the grandson of his brother Arjuna. Capital city after Mahabharata war remained Hastinapur which was later flooded and the capital of the Pandava kingdom was moved eastwards in times of King Nishchakra.
Indraprastha remained one of the major cities of Kuru-Panchala Empire for many centuries. Named for its massive enclosing walls of red sandstone, it is adjacent to an older fort, the Salimgarh, built by Islam Shah Suri in , with which it forms the Red Fort Complex. It was built as his citadel around A. Anangpal II rebuilt it in the late 11th century when he shifted the capital from Kannauj to Delhi.
And it was accepted by Afghanis and Turks too. Moond , Narad , Pilania , Rapar , Ruhil , Sukhera , Toor , Dalip Singh Ahlawat [27] has mentioned following Sub divisions of Tomars : 1. Antil 2. Bhind Tomar , 3. Chebuk , 4. Jaiswal , 6. Janghara , 7. Rao 8. Rawat , 9.
Sahrawat Salkalan , According to Bards Bhamu , Dookiya and Dotasra consider descended from common ancestor and were integral part of Tomar Confederacy. According to H. Sakan , Berwal , and Naru. Dotasara , Dukiya. Kaloo , Jatu , Raghav , Jaswal.
He writes that Since we hold the ancestors of the Bharatpur House to be Tomar , it will not be out of place to know who the Tomars were. We have already noted that the triangle formed by Agra , Delhi and Jaipur , including Bayana and Bharatpur , was, as the inscriptional and numismatic evidence indicate, dominated by the Arjunayanas , Yaudheyas and Uddehikas , whose descendents are said 43 to exist among the Jats and Rajputs. However, it is well nigh impossible to imagine that these tribes might have disappeared in the thin air.
Awadh Biharilal AWasthi 45 finds the Yauddheyas of Bayana teaching a lesson to Balban in Mewat so as not to put his hand again in the hornet's nest. Kalyan Kumar Das Gupta 46 also confirms their existence as well as that of the Arjunayans in the 11th and 12th centuries AD. We also know from the Brihatsamihita of Varahamihira 47 that the Yaudheyas and the Arjunayanas formed a close association. In fact, they were the constituent members of the one and the same Samgha confederacy.
Interestingly, writers 48 trace the origin of the Yaudheyas from Yudhishthira and that of the Arjunayanas from Arjuna , the brother of Yudhishthira. This tradition is echoed in the Puranas and subsequent literature also. If these origins of theirs are correct, both of the tribes can be unquestionably reckoned as the descendents of the Pandava brothers.
In other words, it may be said that they were agnatic cousins. The Arjunayanas are said 49 to have merged with their friend-confederates or Cousins, the Yaudheyas. In fact, they were the people, who populated 50 and dominated the area which later on constituted and was known as the Bharatpur State. So much so, that the region occupied by them was known as Arjunayanaka for a period. The more interesting facts relevant to out purpose are the revelation;-by K.
Some of the branches of the Tomars , according to Yoginderpal Shastri 52 , were also known as Arjunayana Pundir or Paundir. In the Rohitashgarh stone inscription 53 of Mitrasen dated V.
The tradition of the Tomars also support their descent from Parikshita 54 , Mitrasen was himself, according to Harmiwas Dwivedi, a Tomar who hailed from the royal branch of the Tomars of Gwalior In view of the above evidence we are in a position to safely conclude that the Arjunayanas , the agnates of the Yaudheyas in the triangular territory formed by Delhi , Jaipur and Agra , enclosing Bayana Bharatpur , were the descendents of the Pandava hero Arjuna and Tomars , who belonged to Bharat gotra, were the descendents of Parikshita , the grandson of Arjuna.
The fact that Churaman A. III , or more probably to commemorate the victory of their ancestors Pandavas in the Bharat war, for surely we know that it has been a universal practice to name. His 16 generations ruled Delhi for years, 5 months and 3 days.
According to Risala their period has been prescribed as under — Mahabal ascended to the throne of Delhi in BC. During this period Tamisang was born to Ladkun in Khata. He was so brave that he was popular as Singhdaman. During his regime Kastap had become the ruler of Iran.

During the rule of Maharaja Jiwan, one Persian delegation had come to India which studied the conditions of India by visiting various places.
Adityaketu lost his throne to his own Chieftain Dharandar or Dhaniswar due to conspiracy. Thus Jats ruled Delhi for about years. Raja Jiwan and his descendents were Pandav vansi. The rule of Delhi went to other people after 27 generations of Yudhidthira. Vikramaditya was also a ruler of Delhi during this period. Tomar jats are also Panduvanshi. According to Thakur Deshraj the descendants of Maharaja Yudhisthira have ruled here for many generations.
Maharaja Jiwan ascended to the thrown of Delhi prior to BC. He ruled for about 26 years. Pisawa was a Tomar Riyasat. See details at Pisawa. Tomar Jats are mostly found in Distt. Bagpat in Western U. In Bagpat area there are 84 villages of Tomar Gotra. This area, the Khap of Tomars, is well known as Desh-khap.
