Painda Khan Tanoli, was a powerful 19th-century chief of Tanawal. He became the ruler of the declining Mulk Tanol after the death of his father, during a time when the region faced repeated attacks from both the Sikh and Afghan empires.
His father, Nawab Khan, defied the Durranis but was killed at the hands of Azim Khan in 1818. He played a considerable part in opposing the Sikh Empire.
