During Navratri, some Gujaratis are turning to intravenous vitamin drips to stay energetic and maintain a glowing look while dancing through the night.
Gujarat’s vibrant Navratri celebrations have taken a new turn as a growing number of participants are opting for intravenous vitamin drips to sustain stamina and a radiant appearance during the all‑night Garba sessions.
Health practitioners note that IV therapy can deliver nutrients directly into the bloodstream, offering a quick boost of energy and hydration, which some dancers find helpful after hours of continuous activity.
The trend, observed in several urban centres across the state, remains informal and is not endorsed by any official health authority. Critics warn that unsupervised IV administration carries risks such as infection or electrolyte imbalance.
Organisers of Garba events have not issued any guidelines regarding the practice, urging attendees to prioritize safety and consult qualified medical professionals before considering such treatments.
