Sage in Srinagar is Hindu (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rishi

'sage' is the definition.
(term for a Hindu sage)

'in srinagar is hindu' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'RISHI' is hidden within 'srinagar is hindu'.

(Other definitions for rishi that I've seen before include "Spiritual leader" , "Hindu sage or saint" , "holy man" , "Poet" , "Guru" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
