The Cult of Draupadi, Volume 1: Mythologies from Gingee to Kuruksetra, Alf Hiltebeitel's 1988 study from the University of Chicago Press, is a major scholarly account of the South Indian Draupadi cult and its mythology. Its strength is that it draws on Hiltebeitel's own extended fieldwork alongside close textual analysis, published by a leading academic press. Its limit is that its regional focus is the Tamil Draupadi cult specifically, not Draupadi devotion in other parts of India.
