Sports
There were nine sports on the programme for the 2008 CYG.
Each sport has a unique pictogram to represent it. The pictograms are designed to be, like the 2008 CYG logo, a balance between the cultural heritage of India and the modern India. The pictograms have been derived from the tribal art form of Warli.

Point to rich ends.”
