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.
