Yeah the rope is there! As said by Ashwin, the rope is tied to a pulley which pulls the winch uphill using a motor.However manual operation is also required.

Btw Palani is on the MG (still existing ?) line from Dindigul to Pollachi/Podanur/Palgat...Its one hour journey from Dindigul (pronounced Dhindukkal in Tamil).
