Shraddha is considered as one of the highest virtues. It is a gift of the Supreme. It always bears fruits which carry over to the next life. The highest quality of shraddha is that of a devotee. From interpersonal perspective, shraddha is an emotion one has for another person, a deity or shastra (scriptural text or instructions in such texts that guide human behaviour). Shraddha reflects the basic nature of people. Absence of shraddha causes all efforts to go in vain.<ref name=":4" />
