In recent years, Navratri has evolved beyond just nine days of worshipping Goddess Durga; it has transformed into a festival marked by immense enthusiasm and zeal. The growing craze for Garba and Dandiya Raas as soon as Sharadiya Navratri approaches is a prime example of this shift. However, ahead of this year's festivities, Gen-Z is opting for IV drips—a trend that is currently going viral on social media.

Let’s explore what these IV drips are and why Gen-Z is embracing them.

What is an IV drip?
According to the Cleveland Clinic, an IV drip delivers fluids that help protect the body against dehydration and fatigue. Administered directly into the veins, the drip hydrates the body and helps balance electrolyte levels. These drips reportedly contain nutrients such as Vitamin C, B-complex, Zinc, and Glutathione.

Why is Gen-Z choosing IV drips for Navratri?
Gen-Z is opting for these drips to stay energized throughout Navratri and to ward off the exhaustion that follows Garba sessions. The reason is simple: maintaining the same level of energy for Garba over nine consecutive days is physically challenging.

Additionally, these instant-energy drips are popular among young men and women because their Vitamin C content and skin-brightening properties impart a distinct glow to the face.

A massive turnout of youth in Ahmedabad
According to reports circulating on social media, the youth of Ahmedabad are displaying the most enthusiasm for Garba. Instead of opting for traditional facials or skincare packages to achieve a glow, young people there are choosing these IV drips. It is reported that people are visiting clinics in Ahmedabad for 45-minute infusions to combat fatigue and dull skin. They view this method as more effective than standard skincare routines and free from the side effects associated with medication.

How much does this drip cost?
Estimates suggest that the cost of a single drip session ranges between ₹4,000 and ₹10,000, though charges have risen to as much as ₹15,000 during the festive season. It is worth noting that these prices may vary depending on the clinic and the specific formula used.
