Divinely influenced tower in India (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inspired

'divinely influenced' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'tower in india' is the wordplay.
'tower' becomes 'spire' (spire is a kind of tower).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'india' becomes 'ind' (I've seen this in other clues).
'spire' going into 'ind' is 'INSPIRED'.

(Other definitions for inspired that I've seen before include "Roused to higher things" , "Having a suddenly brilliant idea" , "Unexpectedly accurate (guess)" , "Stimulated to excellence" , "Enthused" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
