The Mother House on AJC Bose Road is the place where Mother Teresa lived while serving those in need in Kolkata. The Mother House belongs to the Missionaries of Charity, the organization set up by her. It houses a small museum, which displays her belongings. Even the room used by her is preserved for display. And of course, visitors who wish to do so are able to pay respects to her tomb, which is also located here.
