Mother House
মাদার হাউস
The headquarters of the Missionaries of Charity, where Mother Teresa lived, worked, and is buried, with her tomb and memorial open to visitors.
The Missionaries of Charity was founded by Mother Teresa in 1950. Its headquarters, the Mother House, is on A.J.C. Bose Road. Downstairs lies her white marble tomb, and the small memorial beside it displays her sandals, tableware, and manuscripts, while the second floor preserves her simple bedroom as she left it. Admission is free. It is usually open from about 8:00 to 12:00 and 15:00 to 18:00, and closed on Thursday afternoons. Visitors are asked to keep quiet and dress modestly, and you can register to volunteer here.
