Textiles she has created have been displayed in museums and galleries around the world. Mehta is best known for her revival of the Paithani sari. CareerIn particular, she has been responsible for the revival of the 'Paithani' sari, a legendary sari, which has been woven in Maharashtra, India for the past 2,000 years in a town located close to the Ajanta caves, to its original grandeur.[1][2][3] The Paithani sari is known for its intricate weave of pure silk and gold.[1] Many of the designs have been influenced by Buddhist paintings which can be seen in the woven Paithani motifs.[2] Radha Parthasarathy, the vice president of the Crafts Council of India (CCI), says that Mehta's designs are both "stylised and sophisticated."[3] Her Paithani saris can take between 2 months to a year to complete, based on the complexity and size of the design.[4] In the late 1990s, British Airways decided that it would adorn several of its aircraft with one of Mehta's saris.[5] BA put the design, with Mehta's signature, on the tailfins of its planes.[6][7][8] Mehta commented, "This is even better than having someone wear it."[5] Many of her brocades and saris have been displayed in museums in the United States, Switzerland and London. Mehta is an invited speaker at museum societies and cultural organizations[9] and as a judge at fashion and design schools including the National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad, her alma mater[3] and NIFT, Mumbai. She also speaks about the history of the sari at NIFT and other colleges.[10] In 2002, she designed a collection of gold jewelry for InterGold which was launched with the World Gold Council.[11] References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=https://www.thehindu.com/arts/crafts/Trunk-full-of-treasures/article16883048.ece|title=Trunk full of treasures|last=|first=|date=23 September 2009|website=The Hindu|publisher=|access-date=27 August 2018}} {{Textile designers}}{{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Mehta, Meera}}2. ^1 {{cite web|url=https://www.encyclopedia.com/international/encyclopedias-almanacs-transcripts-and-maps/paithani|title=Paithani|last=Dhamija|first=Jasleen|date=|website=Encyclopedia.com|access-date=27 August 2018}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=https://www.pressreader.com/india/the-hindu/20171215/282638917934614|title=A Weave in Time|last=Anantharam|first=Chitradeepa|date=15 December 2017|website=The Hindu|access-date=27 August 2018}} 4. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.dnaindia.com/lifestyle/report-handloom-heirlooms-1912411|title=Handloom Heirlooms|last=Nunes|first=Averil|date=2013-11-01|work=DNA|access-date=2018-08-27|language=en-US}} 5. ^1 {{cite web|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/magazine/eyecatchers/story/19971027-meera-mehtas-sari-design-used-on-british-airways-aircraft-830778-1997-10-27|title=Meera Mehta's sari design used on British Airways aircraft|last=|first=|date=27 October 1997|website=India Today|access-date=27 August 2018}} 6. ^{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=k6FaAAAAYAAJ|title=Business World|last=|first=|date=October 1997|publisher=Ananda Bazar Patrika Limited|isbn=|location=|pages=427}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.brinkley.cc/PhotoData/BB/BBGBDXO/BBGBDXO.htm|title=British Airways B747-236B 'Paithani' (G-BDXO) 'India Colors / Limited 408'|last=|first=|date=|website=Brinkley Wings Collection Photo|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20060520233916/http://www.brinkley.cc/PhotoData/BB/BBGBDXO/BBGBDXO.htm|archivedate=2006-05-20|deadurl=yes|accessdate=28 August 2018|df=}} 8. ^{{cite book|author=Sorabji M.
