'here in india' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'prohibition abounding' is the wordplay.
'prohibition' becomes 'ban' (synonyms).
'abounding' becomes 'galore' (synonyms).
'ban'+'galore'='BANGALORE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bangalore that I've seen before include "city in India" , "Indian city" , "Asian city" , "State capital" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
