A family place of prayer of the Begiaant in Mejvriskhevi. A salotsavi is a place where people come to pray, and unlike a church it is not always a building: a salotsavi may be a tree, a stone or a small enclosure. The family name tells that the place belonged to a particular household.
Mejvriskhevi lies in Shida Kartli, north east of Gori. The nearest neighbours in the area are the three churches of Kirbali, a little over two kilometres away, and further the Archangel church in Bershueti.
Family shrines keep their own way of life, and they deserve to be treated as private places: no noise, nothing touched, and no entering the enclosure without an invitation.
