UNESCO organises Mother Teresa photo exhibition

Swaddling a child in her arms, listening intently to an old man on a stone bench or beaming her beautiful smile with hands folded in greeting, her head slightly inclined, Mother Teresa dominates every inch of a small gallery room in Delhi.

From her early days in Skopje in present day Macedonia where she was born to parents of Albanian ancestry to her experiences in the Missionaries of Charity, various aspects of the Mother's life captured in photographs are part of a nine day exhibition that opened in the city on Monday evening.

To commemorate her 100th birth anniversary, the exhibition organised by UNESCO contains 40 photographs of the Mother shot by ace lensman Raghu Rai as well as pictures and portraits of the nun collated by the Missionaries of Charity and the Catholic Bishops' Conference of India.
