Fresh lake surrounding God’s place (6)
I believe the answer is:
kerala
'place' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'fresh lake surrounding god's' is the wordplay.
'fresh' is an anagram indicator.
'surrounding' is an insertion indicator.
'god' becomes 'ra' (Egyptian god).
'lake' with letters rearranged gives 'kela'.
'kela' going around 'ra' is 'KERALA'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for kerala that I've seen before include "State of southwest India" , "Indian state" .)
