Village Ticket is a thiruvizha conducted by Brand Avatar in association with Grand Catering Company and intended primarily to honor the three pillars of the Village Life, the Farmers, the Artisans, and the Cooks, who help preserve our great tradition and culture. The third edition of this great event, Village Ticket 2020 was launched successfully in the presence of Chief Guest K Pandiarajan, Minister of Tamil Official Language and Tamil Culture and Special Guest Music Director Anirudh Ravichander.

It helps us to be in touch with the time-honored traditions and also helps in preserving the various art forms which are in real danger of disappearing without much of popular support.
