Description: The instrument contains 6 primary strings, similar to that of the Western Slide Guitar but has an additional 4 supporting strings, 2 drone strings and 12 sympathetic strings. The sympathetic strings generate a tone similar to the Sitar when tuned correctly.

It's spelled chatarangui in my source, but chaturangui seems to be the predominant spelling.
