Cracked by Nakki, CSLV, vinayak, Advaith and jj. Half points to Ninad for getting the places right.
Answer - To quote Nakki, "Vividh Bharati, Jhumri talaiya and Timbucktoo. JT is purported to be the Indian equivalent of Timbuktu with respect to the vagueness of its location, but made popular with song requests from its inhabitants to Vividh Bharathi." Infact so much so, that there is a phrase in Hindi which goes "Jhumri Talaiya ka Raajkumar" referred to a perfect, albeit imaginary groom ie. (e^(j*%pi/2))groom. :P

Vividh Bharati, Jhumri talaiya and Timbucktoo.
JT is purported to be the indian equivalent of timbuktoo wrt the vagueness of its location, but made popular with song requests from its inhabitants to Vividh Bharathi.
Nice q da :)
pic-1 must be some Vividh Bharati radio station.The connection lies with the second pic-2 Jhumri Tallaya, being a place from where people make frequent song requests.
As the title puts it the name of place sounds unreal which is the case with pic-3 Timbuktu.
2nd one is Jhumri Taliya and 3rd is Timbaktu .. albeit couldn't get 1st one ...
All India Radio's Prasaar Barathi getting requests from Jhumri Tilayya which is compared to Timbuku (Mali) for its once-thought imaginary existence .
Jhumri Tilaiya being compared to Timbuktu because of the large number of people calling into AIR programmes from there
Shtudaxx question!!!
AIR (1) used to conduct a show Vividh Bharati. Citizens of Jhumri Tilaiya (2) used to compete to give in the maximum number of requests. Many thought that Jhumri Tilaiya was fictional calling it the Indian Timbuktu (3)
