Nathar Shah (969-1039), also called Nadir Shah or Nathar Wali, was a Muslim saint from the Middle East who migrated to the Tamil country by land through Arabia, Persia and North India and settled down in Tiruchirappalli where he converted a number of Hindus to Islam. He died in Tiruchirappalli in 1039 and was buried in the city and a mosque constructed at the spot. The Hindus he converted are known as "Ravuttans". Long after his death, Tiruchirappalli is still referred to by his followers as "Natharnagar".
