Thimithi is a Tamil Nadu annual celebration held every year in the Tamil calendar month of Aipasi, which corresponds to October and November in the Gregorian calendar. Draupati Amman is commemorated on this day (Draupadi, wife of the five Pandavas).
Tamil Nadu is the place where this celebration began. It is a Hindu festival that is observed all around the world. Apart from India, this event is also celebrated in Fiji, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Malaysia, Mauritius, and other countries having a strong South Indian population.
A community of Tamilians known as the Draupadi Amman cult worships Draupadi as Draupadi Amman.
