The prayer place of the Vanishvili family stands in Patara Ateni village of Gori Municipality. A salotsavi is a place of prayer: people come here without a service, most often as a family.
The family church of the same household stands half a kilometre away, so the two spots are usually visited together. The village lies in the Ateni gorge, in the valley of the Tana river south of Gori.
The shrine can be approached at any time. Candles and modest offerings are left here, gifts of others are not touched, and the place deserves careful treatment.
