Nateshwar Deul (Bengali: নাটেশ্বর দেউল, romanized: Nāṭēśśôr Dēul, lit. 'Temple complex of Nateshwar') is a Buddhist archaeological site located in the village of Nateshwar in Tongibari Upazila in the Munshiganj District, Bangladesh.[6] It is the ruin of a Buddhist city established from 780 to 950 CE and from 950 to 1223 CE in the Bikrampur region. Archaeological excavation began at Nateshwar in 2012–13.[1][3] From 2013 to 2018, an area of approximately 500 square metres (5,400 sq ft) was excavated.[7] Sixteen Buddhist stupas, including Bangladesh's only pyramid-shaped one, have been found in Nateshwar.[1][5]
