The Residential Zone is the living area of the athletes and team officials. It also includes the CGA office spaces, the Polyclinic and the Casual Dining. It has been divided into four zones, named after four unique folk art styles found in India, which can be identified by a colour and an image: Warli (Red), Gond (Blue), Madhubani (Green) and Sanjhi (Purple).
A total of 34 residential towers, with 1,168 apartments comprising 4,008 bedrooms, will house the athletes and team officials. Each apartment has two-five bedrooms and, unlike in previous Games, each bedroom will accommodate two residents.
