Mother House

The Mother House is the erstwhile residence of probably the most renowned and inspirational female figures in Indian History—Mother Teresa. If you are searching for something more meaningful, more awe inspiring, do not forget to visit this landmark. The house was built by Mother Teresa in 1950 with the motive of selfless service to humankind and also to uplift humanity and take it towards salvation. She lived and worked in this home from 1953 till 1997 when she breathed her last.
The simplicity of the area renders a heartwarming feeling to all those who visit this place. The site of the tomb is extremely simple and humble, yet exudes a benign vibration that fills the heart with utmost gratitude. Adjacent to the building is a small museum named Mother Teresa’s Life Spirit and Message. The museum houses her belongings such as her sandals, a dinner bowl used by her, a crucifix and a few other objects. With a crown-of-thorns above her modest bed, the mother’s room is preserved in all its simplicity. It is barely 15 minutes away from the Park Street Metro Station.
