Officially named "Ancient Temple" by ASI, this small temple is in Laduv (Ladhoo, Loduv) village near Lethipora, about 30 kilometers southeast of Srinagar. It is one of the oldest surviving Hindu temples in Kashmir.

The temple is from 7th to 8th-century. Made from Kanjur stone, it stands inside a water tank (like Golden temple in Amritsar). This tank is engineered to be refreshed by a natural spring and adequately drained. It is notable for its architecture where the exterior of the sanctum has a square plan, while the interior is circular. This Hindu temple also has an horse shoe shaped arch at its entrance. It is dedicated to Ladhu Shiva.
