Got together with Indian queen over inside tower (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

minaret

'tower' is the definition.
(I know that minaret is a type of tower)

'got together with indian queen over' is the wordplay.
'got together' becomes 'met' (meeting is a kind of getting together).
'with' is an insertion indicator.
'indian queen' becomes 'rani' (I've seen this in another clue).
'over' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'rani' in reverse letter order is 'inar'.
'met' placed around 'inar' is 'MINARET'.

'inside' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for minaret that I've seen before include "Slender tower with balconies" , "Slender mosque tower" , "Raiment worn on mosque tower" , "Mosque's tower" , "religious tower" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
