It is Dwarkadhish Temple, dedicated to Lord Krishna at Kalbadevi, Mumbai. 

The temple has an old wordly charm. It has the oldest Haveli structure in Mumbai. The temple was built by Sunderdas, son of Thakar Mulji Jetha, in 1875. On the front of the temple there are sculptures of monkeys eating bananas which is reflected in the photo 'Hindu monkey temple, Bombay'

Kalbadevi is an area well known for its wholesale steel market, but it is also an area which plays host to a huge number of temples.
