    May I know the exact place of the monastery of Mother Teresa in Kolkata? I don't know if this is the same as Calcutta as what we know because the saint was called Mother Teresa of Calcutta. Anyway, I know there is a nunnery where the nuns stay in helping the poor people of India. For Catholics, Mother Teresa is a big image, larger than life so it is imperative to see her place of work if one visits India. It doesn't matter if she is already dead, what matters is her place of work.

    Kolkata is the same as Calcutta. The Missionaries of Charity's Mother House is the one founded by St. Mother Teresa which is situated near Ripon Street. It's nearest landmark is the Sealdah Loreto Convent. It was founded in 1950. St. Mother Teresa is no more but her work carries on.
