Lonely Planet review for Tamaris Darbazi
A little further up from the Temple of Makvliani, on the left, is the big hall known as Tamaris Darbazi. Here there are two columns built into the cliff and a stone seat dating from antiquity. The stone ceiling is cut to look like wooden beams, and there is a hole to let smoke out and light in. This was almost certainly a pagan temple originally, though the great Christian Queen Tamar may have occupied it later.
To its left is an open area with stone niches along one side, thought to have once been a pharmacy.
