Her trainer commented: "She has the ultimate skill, a steady hand and a sharp eye."
In 2021, Tomar told The New York Times that her strength and agility is from "All the household chores I used to do from a young age, like grinding the wheat by hand, milking the cows, cutting the grass, It's important to stay active. Your body might grow old, but keep your mind sharp."
From 1999 on, Tomar competed in and won over 25 state and larger championships throughout India.
