Mother House of the Missionaries of Charity

The Mother House of the Missionaries of Charity is the global headquarters of the charity founded by Mother Teresa in 1950. Located in central Kolkata, the building features simple yet serene architecture reflecting the order's commitment to humility, with a chapel, a small museum, and the tomb of Mother Teresa herself. Visitors can explore the museum for insights into the life and works of Mother Teresa, as well as the charity's global impact. Try to visit during the morning, when the chapel is usually quieter for contemplation. The vibrant central neighbourhood also offers nearby attractions like the Nirmal Hriday (Home for the Dying) nearby.
