The church is dedicated to the Virgin Mary and remains an active centre of local life rather than a museum piece. The main day here falls on Mariamoba, at the end of August.
Karaleti is one of the largest villages of Gori Municipality, and its church density matches its size: the village holds half a dozen Christian buildings. The Marian church is the southernmost of them, nearer the road towards Gori. The village stretches along the road, and parishes formed by quarter, each with a church of its own.
On Mariamoba the whole village gathers, including those who moved to the city long ago. Dress soberly, women bring a headscarf. The other Karaleti buildings stand further north and west, all within walking distance.
