Bhakta Kumbara is a 1974 Kannada biographical drama directed by Hunsur Krishnamurthy, starring Rajkumar and Leelavathi, that dramatizes the story of Gora Kumbhar, a 13th-14th century potter from the village of Teredoki who became revered as a saint. The film follows his deep devotion to God, showing how his absorption in prayer while working with clay led to a tragic accident involving his child. It was the eighth film pairing Rajkumar with director Hunsur Krishnamurthy and the second Kannada production centered on this saint's life, following a 1960 version.
