==History==<br />
In 1727, when by Maharaja Sawai [[Jai Singh II]], the ruler of [[Amber, India|Amber]], founded the new capital city of Jaipur, he invited traders and artists from nearby towns to the newly built city, amongst them were a group of ''halwais'', who set up a small sweet shop in Johri Bazaar. Years later in around, 1949/1950, one of the descendants of these halwais, Maliram Ghodawat, branded this sweet shop, as the Lakshmi Mishthan Bhandar (LMB). The hotel was added later on in 1954.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.business-standard.com/article/beyond-business/centuries-of-princely-treats-108061401031_1.html|title=Centuries of princely treats|date=14 June 2008|newspaper=Business Standard| first=Radhieka | last=Pandeya | accessdate=13 February 2019 }}</ref><br />
