Round, blue, raised rooms in a harem (4)

I believe the answer is:

odas

'rooms in a harem' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'round blue raised' is the wordplay.
'round' becomes 'o' (round can mean a round object).
'blue' becomes 'sad' (similar in meaning).
'raised' is a reversal indicator (going up in a down clue).
'sad' reversed gives 'das'.
'o'+'das'='ODAS'

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
