Guest guest Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Dear sri vaishnava perunthagaiyeer, the answer to this question is taken from web site www.sanathanadharma.com/temple/essential.htm which says about the bali peetam the following The balipitha (pedestal of sacrificial offerings) with a lotus or the footprints of the deity is fixed near the dhvajastambha, but nearer to the deity. Red-coloured offerings like rice mixed with vermillion powder, are kept on this at appropriate stages during the performance of rituals. This indicates the feeding of the parivaradevatas (attendant and associate deities). There is every reason to believe that the yupastambha (Sacrificial post) and the balipitha (sacrificial pedestal) of the Vedic age have become metamorphosed into the dhvajastambha and the balipitha. dhasan vasudevan m.g. ramanuja, "tesh_tel" <tesh_tel wrote: > > JAi sri Krishna > > Can anybody explain what is the significance of the balipeetham in > temples?? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
