PENNYCUICK


Many of the farmer families of the Theni and Madurai districts still keep portraits of Pennycuick and worship him as a God. Villagers prostrate before his image, offer prayers, decorate with garlands and perform aarati to his photo which are usually kept in the hall or puja room along with idols of other deities.

Pennycuick roadside rest-to-rent. I sat here awhile and remembered the great man.
