Puran Bhaat is a puppeteer from India. Originally from Rajasthan, his group of puppeteer families settled in Delhi almost fifty years ago. They currently reside in the Kathputli Colony at Delhi, an artist community.[1]

He was awarded the Sangeet Natak Akademi Award in 2003, given by the Sangeet Natak Akademi, India's National Academy of Music, Dance & Drama.[2]

Bhaat was one of the primary subjects of the 2014 docudrama Tomorrow We Disappear, which revolves around the Kathputli Colony facing impending eviction in order to build high-rise housing on the outskirts of New Delhi.
