The Jagannath Mahadev Temple has one of the two naubatkhanas at Walkeshwar, the other being at Vyankatesh Balaji Temple. The naubatkhana is built over the arched gateway, though now the space is used for residential purposes by the current occupants of the temple, many of whom live as tenants. The arched gateway open to the street and is entered through a carved wooden door which opens to the inner courtyard.
The location of Banganga Tank and Walkeshwar is at the foot of the western face of Malabar Hill, on breaking point of the Arabian Sea. The stone paved Jabreshwar Gali is one of two alleys leading to Banganga Tank from Walkeshwar Road running along the ridge of Malabar Hill. The most prominent temple in Jabreshwar gali is the eponymous Jabreshwar Temple, built in the 1840s by Nathuram Ramdas, father of a leading Bombay merchant, Sir Mangaldas Nathubhai.
