Baruipur, on the fringes of Kolkata is synonymous with green orchards. Besides its much-relished fruits, it also boasts of having the world’s first cathedral dedicated to mother Teresa – cathedral immaculate heart of Mary and mother Teresa.
The history goes back to the days when a chapel was set up in 1978 in baruipur under the baruipur diocese.

“The tranquility and beauty of the cathedral is a major draw , attracting people from all faiths, and the cathedral gladly welcomes all.”
The cathedral’s architecture is primarily patterned on the Romanesque (in England known as Norman)-marked by rounded arches, solid volumes and perpendicular elements as prevalent in the 10th and 12th centuries. The sanctuary is inspired by baroque and Portuguese style. The tiled pattern on the roof lends it a rustic charm.
Elements of Hinduism and Islam also find expression in main structure of the cathedral, which draw a steady stream of visitors from other faiths. In the main prayer hall, there are 12 murals on either side of cathedral. The roof highlight the 12 miracles and 12 parables of Jesus Christ .
