The middle-order batsman hit an unbeaten 105 for his 44th Test hundred just when his team desperately needed runs following a below-par batting performance against a disciplined Bangladeshi attack on Sunday.
India’s previous lowest total in a completed innings against Bangladesh was 429 in Dhaka in 2000.
Bangladesh were 21 for no loss in reply at lunch on the second day, with Tamim Iqbal scoring all the runs.
India, reeling at 213-8 in their first innings on Sunday, lost their remaining two wickets in less than eight overs in the morning, with left-arm spinner Shakib Al Hasan and fast bowler Shahadat Hossain finishing with five wickets apiece.
Shakib grabbed 5-62 for his sixth haul of five or more wickets in Tests and Shahadat took 5-71 for his third.
Tendulkar, who had only tail-enders Ishant Sharma and Shanthakumaran Sreesanth to give him company, went for shots early in the morning in pursuit of his century.
He pulled Shahadat for a four in the first over after play started 90 minutes late due to fog and then hoisted Shakib over long-on for a six.
Tendulkar, 76 overnight, was on 93 when last-man Sreesanth joined him and completed his century with two successive fours off Shahadat. His 166-ball knock contained two sixes and 11 fours.
Shahadat was the first to strike when he had Sharma caught behind for one and then Shakib dismissed Sreesanth in the eighth over.
