Father embracing a divine being in temple (6)

I believe the answer is:

pagoda

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

'temple' is the definition.
(pagoda is a kind of temple)

'father embracing a divine being' is the wordplay.
'father' becomes 'pa' (pa is a kind of father).
'embracing' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'divine being' becomes 'god' (god is a kind of being. I am not sure about the 'divine' bit.**).
'a'+'god'='agod'
'pa' placed around 'agod' is 'PAGODA'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pagoda that I've seen before include "Eastern building" , "place of worship" , "temple? Quite the opposite" , "religious structure" , "A buddhist temple built in tiers" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
