Legend and worship:
Draupadi is one of the Pancha Kanyas (along with Ahalya, Kunti, Taara and Mandodari), taking whose very name one can get rid of his sins.
According to Mahabharata and many Puranas, she was an incarnation of Swarga Sri or Goddess Sachi. She has also been described as a combined incarnation of Devi Shyamala, Devi Bharati, Devi Sachi and Devi Usha in some sources, while in Skanda Purana she is shown as incarnation of Devi Parvati. However, her divinity is accepted in every scripture.
