Commonwealth Games Village Delhi – 2010 Games Legacy

The Commonwealth Games Village was built in Akshardham, East Delhi to house athletes from across the Commonwealth during the 2010 Delhi Commonwealth Games. The village consists of approximately 1,168 apartments in 34 towers overlooking the Yamuna River and the iconic Akshardham Temple.

After the games, the residential complex was converted into luxury apartments. The area is known for its beautiful riverside location, proximity to Akshardham Temple, and the well-developed infrastructure built for the games.

The 2010 Delhi Commonwealth Games were a landmark event for India — the first time the country hosted the games. The Village was designed to accommodate over 8,500 athletes and officials from 71 Commonwealth nations. The complex features modern tower blocks, landscaped grounds, and excellent views of the Yamuna floodplain and Akshardham Temple.

While the village itself is now a private residential complex, the area is worth visiting for its location adjacent to Akshardham Temple and the nearby Yamuna riverfront.
