I is for INDIAN ICONS & IMAGES
One cannot help notice the images found hung on the walls of Bengali homes and family shops. Generally you will see Swami Vivekananda, Ramakrishna, Mother T, Rabindranath Tagore, Sai Baba, Loknath, various combinations of Hindu gods and goddesses, and even Jesus Christ. That covers several bases!
Whether it has been officially stated or not, Mother Teresa is revered as a saint to many here in Kolkata. Her ascetic lifetime of service to the poor and dying is considered worthy of worship and honor. From my experience meeting various people involved with NGOs in Kolkata, there are thousands of Mother Teresas at work in Kolkata -- doing admirable and important social work throughout the city.
