Bangle destroyed by tigers' homeland? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bengal

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

'tigers' homeland?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'bangle destroyed' is the wordplay.
'destroyed' indicates an anagram.
'bangle' anagrammed gives 'BENGAL'.

'by' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bengal that I've seen before include "part of India" , "... Bay area" , "Bay of - is E. of India" , "old Indian province" , "Beautiful endangered tiger of India" .)
