Twisted halo about spot in Pakistan (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lahore

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

'in pakistan' is the definition.
(I know that Lahore is part of Pakistan)

'twisted halo about' is the wordplay.
'twisted' indicates anagramming the letters.
'about' becomes 're' ('re' means regarding or about).
'halo' with letters rearranged gives 'laho'.
'laho'+'re'='LAHORE'

'spot' is the link.
This may not be correct. It may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lahore that I've seen before include "Capital of Punjab" , "Pak. Punjab city" , "Possible home for Pakistani" , "Or heal badly in Pakistan" , "Heal or go out to the Pakistani city" .)
