The Kakhelebi church stands near Ujarma village. Kakhelebi is a family name here: village churches take such names when one kin kept and cared for the building.
A whole ring of Ujarma shrines is scattered around: the church ruins about a kilometre away, the two storey church and the Ogondaanti sakdari a little further, the parish church of St George three kilometres off. All of them gravitate to the fortress of Ujarma above the Iori valley.
The place is rural and quiet, and the gates are not always open. If getting inside matters, ask in the village. The usual church rules hold here too: covered shoulders and knees, a headscarf for women, quiet.
