The temple of one worshipped in Pennsylvania (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pagoda

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

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

'one worshipped in pennsylvania' is the wordplay.
'one worshipped' becomes 'agod' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'pennsylvania' becomes 'PA'.
'agod' placed inside 'pa' is 'PAGODA'.

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pagoda that I've seen before include "Eastern temple, usually a tower" , "Hindu or Buddhist temple" , "Pyramidal Asian temple" , "Hindu/Buddhist temple" , "Hindu temple shaped like pyramid" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
