Somewhat cheap, a god asks for temples (7)

I believe the answer is:

pagodas

'for temples' is the definition.
(pagoda is a kind of temple)

'somewhat cheap a god asks' is the wordplay.
'somewhat' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'PAGODAS' is hidden within 'cheap a god asks'.

(Another definition for pagodas that I've seen is " temples".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
