The ruins of the Dumani church lie in Ninotsminda Municipality. The small hall church is laid of hewn stone: the surface is evened out, though the masonry is uneven in places and filled with joints.
The main device here is colour. Dark and relatively light stones are laid in contrast, and it works both on the facades and inside. Such deliberate handling of stone colour is rare in a village church.
The interior is symmetrical and divided by arched pilasters. A relief cross on a pedestal, facing west, is carved to the right of the apse. The entrance is cut in the south wall. Sources assign the building to the 14th and 15th centuries.
