Laid out within a dome-shaped architecture, Veethi Sankul - the Indoor Museum of IGRMS - has at present twelve galleries displaying varying facets of human culture. The entrance gallery, 'Bio-cultural Evolution of Man', is designed to provide information about 'Man' as a physical being and his evolutionary journey from prehistoric times. An add-on to this gallery provides valuable information on 'Human Variation'. The remaining galleries, grouped as 'Human Odyssey', depict rich and diversified cultural patterns of tribal and rural India. The exhibitions are thematically arranged with models, graphics, dioramas, showcases, panels, and valuable ethnographic objects collected from different parts of India and from abroad. A visual Storage-cum-Research Gallery has also been set up to provide research inputs for students, scholars, and academicians. A reference library with a large collection of books, research journals, and manuscripts in different languages is annexed to the Indoor Museum. An amphitheatre of about 300 seating capacity is also available for the presentation of performing arts in this area. Veethi Sankul is further annexed with an auditorium of a capacity of about 250 people.
