Since February 1953, this has been the home of Mother Teresa and her sisters. She lived, prayed, and worked here while leading her community of sisters around the world. This is also the place where she was laid to rest.

Located on the Maidan near Jawaharlal Nehru Road (Chowringhee Road), the memorial covers 57 acres of land with 21 landscaped gardens.

James Prinsep Monument
Our trip ends at Prinsep Ghat, located along the banks of the Hooghly River. Built during British rule, this memorial reflects a blend of Greek and Gothic architecture. At night, the area comes alive as the Setu glows with dazzling lights, making it one of the best places to visit in Kolkata after dark. It’s also a favorite picnic spot where families come to relax and enjoy the cool breeze from the river.
