The village church stands in Ortubani in the west of Shida Kartli. The dedication to the Mother of God is known from local records, while many signs list it simply as a church.
Ortubani lies southwest of Kareli, in the hills near the boundary with the Khashuri district. A monastic house stands three hundred steps away, and the road here climbs from the Kura valley through narrow gorges.
Regular services may not be held, and the church can be approached at any time. Modest clothing is appropriate, and the interior deserves careful treatment.
