Ahmedabad Residents Turn to IV Drips Ahead of Navratri
Some people in Ahmedabad are getting vitamin drips before Navratri.
They hope the drips will help them feel energetic and look fresh while dancing garba.
The treatments can cost thousands of rupees.
Young adults and older working professionals are both trying them.
One resident says she wanted to look less tired, while another wanted more stamina.

Without proper care, the drips may cause problems such as allergic reactions or fluid overload.
