Ask Raman to go round greeting in Indian style (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

namaskar

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'greeting in indian style' is the definition.
'namaskar' can be an answer for 'greeting' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'in indian style' bit.

'ask raman to go round' is the wordplay.
'to go round' indicates an anagram.
'ask'+'raman'='askraman'
'askraman' anagrammed gives 'NAMASKAR'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for namaskar that I've seen is " Greeting".)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
