The church of Lezgara village carries the name Tekhish Jgrag; it is also mentioned as a church of St. George, which agrees with the name, since jgrag is the Svan name of the same saint.
Lezgara lies fifteen kilometres from Mestia. The village holds three shrines: the Magardeli church of the Saviour seven hundred metres away and the Labskaldi church of the Archangel a little over two kilometres. The Tviberi church of St. George stands seven hundred metres off.
Small Svan churches rarely hold regular services, yet the shrine can be approached at any time. Follow the coordinates.
