The Tavgatekhila Spring in Sighnaghi is located on Bidzina Kvernadze Street and is considered one of the most sacred springs in Sighnaghi.

Since the 1970s, it has also been called "Vano's Spring". During one of the Vano's reigns, it was cleaned and renamed "Vano's Spring".

Before his death, Vano Sarajishvili requested water from the Tavgatekhila Spring. The museum keeps a large, blue glass - a jug, with which his brother brought the long-awaited spring to the sick Vano Tavgatekhila.

There is a legend about the name of this spring.

There was such a shortage of water in Sighnaghi that people stood in line for a long time, often quarreled and even broke each other's heads with jugs.
