The Khmala chapel in the residential part of Akhmeta is a small structure for prayer among the town yards. The place is quiet and lived-in in a homely way: neighbours step in, light candles and go on about their business, without turning the visit into an event.
There are many chapels like this in the Kakhetian towns, and they carry a truth of their own: spiritual life here is not set apart from the everyday but built into it, right between the yards and the vegetable plots, as generations arranged it. For a guest it is a chance to see Akhmeta from within rather than from the transit highway along which people usually rush to Pankisi and Tusheti.
The chapel is seen freely, with ordinary courtesy: a quiet voice, respect for the neighbouring yards. One enters if the door is open and leaves everything as it was.
