The church of the Exaltation named Bitsmendi stands by Tsinamdzghvriantkari village. The Exaltation of the Cross is kept in Georgian villages in autumn, and this dedication is met with markedly less often than that of St George.
The Marian church of the same name stands seventy metres away, and they can be told apart only by dedication. The village has five churches in all, fitting into a circle of under two kilometres, while the Jighaura Bitsmendi churches lie a little further.
The church is rural and its gates are opened by arrangement. The rules are the usual ones: covered shoulders and knees, a headscarf for women, quiet. The neighbouring church carries the same name and stands close by, so steer by the coordinates.
