Location of special knowledge about a Hindu leader (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lahore

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

'location of special' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'knowledge about a hindu leader' is the wordplay.
'knowledge' becomes 'lore' (lore is a kind of knowledge).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'leader' says to take the initial letters.
The first letter of 'hindu' is 'h'.
'a'+'h'='ah'
'lore' placed around 'ah' is 'LAHORE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lahore that I've seen before include "Or heal badly in Pakistan" , "West Pakistan capital, 1955-70" , "Heal or go out to the Pakistani city" , "Or heal the strange Pakistani city" , "Capital of Punjab" .)
