Bhakta Kumbara (Kannada: ಭಕ್ತ ಕುಂಬಾರ) is a 1974 Indian Kannada film directed by Hunsur Krishnamurthy. The film stars Rajkumar and Leelavathi in lead roles.
Gora Kumbhar, a potter who turned into a saint who lived in the 13th and 14th century in Teredoki supposedly lost his child while curing the clay by his legs for making pots, because he did not notice his child fumbling under his feet as he immersed himself in chanting the name of God. He was called Saint Gora Kumbara by the people of Maharashtra and Karnataka.
The film won three awards at the 1974-75 Karnataka State Film Awards - Third Best Film, Best Actor (Rajkumar) for his portrayal of the potter-turned-saint Gora Kumbhar and Best Music Director (G. K. Venkatesh).
Bhakta Kumbara is the second Kannada film based on the life of Gora Kumbhar with the first being Gora Kumbara. The former was later remade in Telugu by V. Madhusudhan Rao as Chakradhari starring Akkineni Nageswara Rao in 1977.
The music of the film was composed by G. K. Venkatesh with lyrics penned by Hunsur Krishnamurthy.
