Scene of siege currently associated with good fortune (7)

I believe the answer is:

lucknow

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

'scene of siege' is the definition.
'Lucknow' can be an answer for 'siege' (Lucknow is an example). I am unsure of the 'scene of' bit.

'currently associated with good fortune' is the wordplay.
'currently' becomes 'now' (I've seen this in other clues).
'associated with' says to put letters next to each other.
'good fortune' becomes 'luck' (I've seen this before).
'now' put after 'luck' is 'LUCKNOW'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lucknow that I've seen before include "great relief" , "having trouble in eighteen fifty seven" , "Indian city, capital of Uttar Pradesh" , "Indian metropolis" .)
