Hieromartyr Andria Karbelashvili (1851–1924) was the second child of the family, and undertook his earliest studies at home. His brothers recognized his abilities as a chanter and clergyman, and he was known as well for his intelligence. In 1903 he became prior of the Church of the Dormition of the Mother of God in Kvemo Chala, remaining in that position until the Soviets came to power, at which time he was forced to leave religious life. When the Bolsheviks came to destroy or otherwise confiscate the property of the Amilakhvari and other noble families, Andria was instrumental in saving may items. Andria and his brother Petre were among the intellectuals taken to Gori for interrogation by the communists during the August Uprising, and were executed in the Tiripona Valley along with others.
