The church is dedicated to St. George and is known by the name Velieti: that is the name of a place in the hills above the Rioni valley to which the church is assigned.
Ambrolauri is about three and a half kilometres from here, and the town church of the Iveria icon of the Virgin lies in the same direction. Among the closer neighbours, the salotsavi of St. Barbara at Zemo Skhvava stands about four and a half kilometres away, the Trinity church of the same village five, the ruins of Sadmeli five and a half.
The place lies away from the inhabited streets, the last few hundred metres are unpaved and in rain are better walked. The church is a village one and services are not held every day. Dress modestly, keep quiet inside. Ambrolauri is near, and the visit fits well with the town church of the Iveria icon.
