Tskhrajvari, meaning nine crosses, is a shrine of St. George in Imereti near Nakerala Pass, on a mountain near Tkibuli at around 1500 meters above sea level.
Each year on the last Saturday of May, Tskhrajvaroba is celebrated in Imereti, especially in Tkibuli municipality and surrounding villages.
A cave is also reported near the temple area.
Local legend says a father carried and raised nine crosses on the mountain after praying for his nine sons to return safely from war.
Another legend links the site to a family vow and a pigeon sign guiding shrine construction, followed by annual religious observance.
