[Mother Teresa House, Kolkata, India] A place that touches hearts and shows equal love for all

A spot that can be called the conscience of Kolkata, where visitors from all over the world never cease. It is a place where you can deeply feel the life and activities of Mother Teresa, who embodied selfless love for the poor, in a quiet space. 👀 Points of interest ✨ ✨ Touching the spirit of Mother Teresa This building is the monastery where Mother Teresa lived, prayed, and continued her activities. Her grave, daily necessities, favorite sandals, letters, etc. are on display, and you will be touched by the spirit of "love in action". There are no flashy decorations, and the air is pure. 📚 Simple museum area Inside the museum, there is an exhibition space that traces her trajectory, including photos, notes, and awards, so you can learn and be moved even in a short time. The desk used by Mother remains as it is, and you will realize that hope spread to the world from that small room. 🙏 Spirit of service and ongoing activities Today, sisters from the Missionaries of Charity live here and care for the local area. If you're lucky, you may be able to join in the prayer time or catch a glimpse of volunteering. If you wish, you can volunteer at a local facility. Basic information📝 📍Access: About 15-20 minutes walk from the Esplanade area, or about 10 minutes by Uber/Tuk-Tuk 💰Admission fee: Free 🕰️Opening hours: 8:00-12:00/15:00-18:00 (closed on Thursdays) 🚫 Please note: Photography is prohibited (exterior only). It is good manners to visit quietly. Mother Teresa's house is more of a "pilgrimage of the heart" than a tourist spot. Her footsteps, which embraced the light and shadow of India, still light the hearts of many people🕯️. When you want to calm your mind, this is the most deeply moving place in Kolkata. #India #IndiaTrip #IndiaTourism #IndiaTrip #AsiaTrip #Kolkata #KolkataTourism #KolkataTrip #KolkataTrip #Volunteering #LocalExperience #SoloTrip #SoloWomen #AbsolutelyFreeTrip
