India is preparing for a massive cyclone, which is sweeping through the Bay of Bengal towards the country's east coast.

Cyclone Phailin, categorised as "very severe" by weather forecasters, is expected to hit Odisha and Andhra Pradesh states on Saturday.

The Meteorological Department has predicted winds of 205-215km (127-134 miles) at the time of landfall.
