City in Pakistan I see inspired by traditional beliefs (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lahore

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

'city in pakistan' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'i see inspired by traditional beliefs' is the wordplay.
'i see' becomes 'ah' (exclamation used to indicate understanding).
'inspired by' indicates putting letters inside (some letters breathed in or 'inspired' by others).
'traditional beliefs' becomes 'lore' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'ah' placed inside 'lore' is 'LAHORE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lahore that I've seen before include "Capital of Punjab" , "Asian city" , "Or heal the strange Pakistani city" , "Heal or go out to the Pakistani city" , "Or heal badly in Pakistan" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
