Karaga festival dedicated to drapaudi

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karaga_(festival)

The rituals have their origin in the Mahabharata, particularly in the vastrakshepa (stripping) of Draupadi, the exile of the Pandavas and the death of Draupadi's sons at the hands of Ashwathama. After all these trials and tribulations, she emerged as a symbol of strong and ideal womanhood

The celebration of Karaga festival in Karnataka can be traced back to over five centuries. It is believed that the festival originated in the Tigala community, a Tamil-speaking community of gardeners in Southern Karnataka. The Tigala community has been carrying forward the tradition of the festival for several centuries.

The origin of the Tigala community is not clear. Members of this community call themselves Vanihikula Kshatriyas. Some members claim that they are descendents of Veerakumars, the members of a mythological army who had helped Draupadi in her fight against a demon. Some believe that the origin of the community can be traced back to the lions of Angirasa, the sage whose offsprings founded most of the dynasties that had ruled over South India. Some others believe that the Tigalas are descendents of Agani, the Goddess of fire as per the Hindu mythology.

According to Puranas (the sacred scriptures of Hinduism), Draupadi is considered to be the embodiment of an ideal woman. The Tigalas worship Adishakti Draupadi as their community deity. The festival is celebrated in honour of Draupadi

Oh wow. It's so nice to know that Draupadi is revered and honoured too. Otherwise mostly people just make her a symbol of arrogance

In Tamil Nadu she is family goddess of nearly third of the population. Every major village has her temple. Though it is her temple Pandavas are there too along with Krishna and Iravan.

Even in Chennai there are two large temples oF Draupadi and one of them is very old one, renovated around 50 years ago.

All these temples are called Panchali Amman or Draupadi Amman temple.

She has the main central shrine. Then there is a shrine where she is along with Yudhishtir and brothers. Krishna is usually a separate murthy in the same shrine or a smaller shrine for him outside. Iravan has a special shrine in some Draupadi Amman temples.
