The church of the Mother of God stands near Kvemo Rieti village of Kareli Municipality and is known by the name of the local area, Bneleti. The name itself echoes the Georgian bneli, meaning dark.
Kvemo Rieti lies north of Kareli, in the hills above the Kura valley. The village of Koshkebi with its basilica begins next door, and the church of the Virgin at Koshkebi stands not far away.
Regular services may not be held, and the church can be approached at any time. Modest clothing is appropriate, and the old walls deserve careful treatment.
