about

"Viyezgo" means “Try me”. This inscription welcomes visitors at the entrance of the temple belonging to Doctor Amaliya. It constitutes a challenge to all those who doubt Maliya's abilities, and especially to the witches who wait for her mistakes.
"Viyezgo" can be taken literally. Before making a diagnosis, Maliya often made arrangements with patients: "If I do not help you, take anything you want from my house. But if my spirits solve your problem, you repay me." As a result, even though her house had no electricity, it housed a number of TV sets which she had won from grateful patients.
Amaliya was famous in the Endindeni area. She had a reputation for fearlessly fighting evil witchcraft, even risking her life to do so. After arguing with a local politician who was supposed to be responsible for kidnapping children for their magical powers, she ended up in jail, but local residents demanded her release.
