 Erected on a hillock in Loduv village, the Loduv Temple is an ancient architecture dating back to the 8th century. It is about 4 miles away from Barus in Srinagar district. Built in a distinguishable manner from the other Kashmiri temples, this piece is quite uncomplicated in its structure. The interior of the temple is circular in arrangement whereas the external portion is square in shape. The entrance is on the southwestern corner and there is a hemispherical arch on the top. Constructed using relatively small sized stones, the temple roof are sharp and straight. Externally the walls are devoid of beautification, reaching a height of 10feet from the ground level. There is a moulding at the corner between the ceiling and the top of a wall. It consists of three rows of stone ornamented with projecting fillets. The corner pillars are rather bare and protrude only very faintly from the walls. The dome resembles the ceiling of the larger temples at Wangat and was built of protruding courses of Kanjur in lime. The Loduv Temple bears similarity with the Shankaracharya Temple on the Takht-e-Sulaiman Hill (Shankaracharya Hill). Other attractions comprise a mosque and a small temple on the hilltop.
