Toradar muskets are believed to have been used by the Mughal Empire from the early 16th century up until the mid to late 19th century. According to Gahir & Spencer's Visual History of Arms and Armor (2006), when the Portuguese reached India in 1498, they brought firearms with them including matchlocks. Expert native armorers were quickly able to copy the Portuguese firearms and began producing their own matchlock muskets incorporated with regional symbolism and motifs. These native muskets became known as the toradar, and were used widely because they were simple and cheap to make.
