The church is dedicated to St. George and bears the name Kedisubani. The word is compound: kedi means a ridge, ubani a quarter, that is the ridge quarter of the village. In Racha such names belonged to the upper parts of villages stretched along a slope.
The place belongs to Khonchiori and lies two kilometres from Khvanchkara. The church of the Virgin of Khonchiori itself stands about two and a half kilometres away, the sakdari of the Saviour at Znakva two and a half, the nameless church of the same village three, the painted church of Bugeuli three.
The road from Khvanchkara is short, though the last few hundred metres climb the slope. The church is a village one, services are not held every day, yet it can always be approached. Dress modestly, keep quiet inside, leave offerings untouched. Khvanchkara is close, and the visit fits into a valley trip.
