Which is this instrument?

Russian origin, triangular body and three strings. Can you name this guitar-style instrument? (For Tamil film fans, there can't be a more topical question!)

Couldn't resist googling. But why that word in that song....taking paythals to new heights I guess...even "Sivaji vayila jelaebi dhanda" sounds full of sense comparitively:)

Don't know! Probably they wanted something to end with the 'akka' sound, to rhyme with salethirka, madrasukka, tiruchika ....

Ingenious! And, it's a big hit!!
