It is situated 3km to the left of the national highway between Pompur and Awantipur. Here, at Ladu, two temples were built, one surrounded by the water spring and the other, a smaller one, close to the hillside. On plan, the temple built in the spring is 2.23 sq.m, externally with projecting corner pilasters 1.15m. Internally, it is circular and measures in circumference 33.28 m. The diameter of this interior diminishes from the ground as the temple rises. The diameter of the circle is formed by the projecting edges of the cornice. The thickness of the wall at the doorway is 1m. The wall inside shows signs of fire, used by arsonists, perhaps, to destroy the roof which might have been of wood. The top of the doorway, inside, formed by the inner sides of the courses, serves as a base from which the cornice of the interior is projected. There is a drain on the south side for draining out the water used for the services of the temple. The height of the wall, from the outside, is 3.12 m. The corner pilasters stand on a basement 0.75 m high and 2.00 m projected beyond on the wall. The basement is built all around the building except the doorway. The basement of the temple stands on a platform 14.60 sq.m faced by a stone wall forming a sort of lower basement.
The tank has a square of 21.30 m with stone walls supporting the tank. Around the tank, there were the foundations of walls which appeared to have formed a square of 9.30 sq.m. In the tank, there was a linga, 1.20 m high and 0.38 m in diameter with eight flutings. It seems that the linga was placed sometimes in the past in the centre of the temple1.
