Another gallery, titled Jain Gallery houses the statues of the various Jain Tirthankaras and remains of other Jain temples found at Thubon and Boodhi Chanderi. In the Vishnu Gallery stone images of the different incarnations of Lord Vishnu like Varaha, Vamana, Narasimha etc. are on show. I another gallery are displayed the photographs of monuments, the vistas of Chnaderi, cannon balls, arms and armaments and coins, recovered from the vicinity.
