Silver artist in India (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

agra

'in india' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'silver artist' is the wordplay.
'silver' becomes 'Ag' (Ag is the chemical symbol for silver).
'artist' becomes 'RA' (Royal Academician, member of Royal Academy of Arts).
'ag'+'ra'='AGRA'

(Other definitions for agra that I've seen before include "Taj Mahal's city" , "city founded in 1566" , "Site of the Taj Mahal" , "Site of the TajMahal" , "Indian city, capital of the Mogul empire until 1658" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
