Mother House

One of the spiritual places at Kolkata is The Missionaries of Charity’s Mother House. Founded by Mother Teresa in 1950 with the aim of selfless service to mankind and to uplift the plagued humanity towards the path of salvation, the foundation has been serving mankind since then. It is a perfect place for the people looking for inner peace and the meaning and purpose of existence. The holy place also holds the sacred tomb of Mother Teresa. One can find a perfect place to meditate amidst the hustle-bustle life of the city. The place also holds a museum named- ‘Mother Teresa’s Life, Spirit, and Message’, which showcases the daily use items of Mother Teresa.  One can see her sandals, battered enamel dinner-bowl, sari, crucifix, rosary, a few handwritten letters, and spiritual exhortations.  Apart from these is the ‘Mother’s Room’, which is well preserved in the memory of beloved Mother Teresa.
