Which Rajput dynasty ruled Delhi immediately before the Chauhans ?
Tomaras
Delhi first became the capital of a kingdom under the Tomara Rajputs, who are credited with founding Dhillika (Delhi) in the eleventh century.
In the middle of the twelfth century the Tomaras were defeated by the Chauhans (Chahamanas) of Ajmer, under Vigraharaja IV, and Delhi passed to them; Prithviraj Chauhan later ruled from here.
The Chalukyas ruled in the Deccan and Gujarat, the Chandelas in Bundelkhand and the Paramaras in Malwa, so none of them held Delhi just before the Chauhans.
Hence, Tomaras.
