Holidaymaker perhaps heading for basically every Indian state, we’re told (9)

'holidaymaker perhaps heading for basically' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'every indian state we're told' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'every' could be 'each' (synonyms) and 'each' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
