Bali pitha

A bali pitha (Sanskrit: बलिपीठम्, romanized: balipīṭham) is the sacrificial altar of a Hindu temple. It is generally built in the shape of a blossoming lotus, erected near the main entrance of a temple. Offerings of riceballs, referred to as pinda, are usually made by adherents upon a bali pitha.
