Talab Tillo is an urban area of Jammu City in the Indian union territory of Jammu and Kashmir.[1] It is a bustling residential[2] and commercial hub that holds historical and cultural significance.[3]
Etymology
According to local oral traditions, a saint named Tilloo came to the local Zamindar Teru Singh Saini, who owned large parts of the present-day Talab Tillo area, and requested land to live.
