The doors of the khanaka have always been open to willing parishioners, it has been a place of assistance and support.

The facade of the shelter is decorated with multicolored blue ornaments, 2 massive wide towers stand on the sides, domed portals are carved into the side walls. The main attraction of the khanaka is the front entrance portal, which is as high as the nearby columns. Like the entire Lyabi House ensemble, the khanaka is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is a protected historical structure.
