'We have sold 50,000 solar goggles, 2,000 solar films and five telescopes in the last three days. A large amount of stock was sent to other places some days back,' said Gitanjalee.

The solar goggles were sold at prices between Rs.25 and Rs.50 while the solar filter films, used for clicking images, were sold for Rs.600 per square feet.

Solar goggles are made from a special filter film through which the eclipsed sun can be viewed safely.
