Bhagat Pipa (born 1425^[2]) was a Rajput ruler of Gagaraungarh who abdicated the throne to become a Hindu mystic poet and saint of the Bhakti movement.^[3]^[4] He was born in the Malwa region of North India (east Rajasthan) in approximately AD 1425.^[5]

Pipa's exact date of birth and death are unknown, but it is believed that he lived in the late fourteenth and early fifteenth century.^[1]^[6]^[7] Born into a warrior class and royal family, Pipa is described as an early Shaivism (Shiva) and Sakta (Durga) follower. Thereafter, he adopted Vaishnavism as a disciple of Ramananda, and later preached Nirguni (god without attributes) beliefs of life.^[8]^[1] Bhagat Pipa is considered one of the earliest influential sants of the Bhakti movement in 15th century northern India.^[8]
