   Durga Prasad Ghildiyal published forty stories in three fiction collections –Gari, Mwari and Bwari .

 Story subject: all the subject of stories by Ghildiyal are the life and life style of Garhwalis. A few stories are based on folk style where moral teaching becomes more prominent than the story. Dr Dabral states that Ghildiyal is expert of issues of Garhwal. Ghildiyal wrote fine modern stories taking Garhwali theme.

Characters and Characterization: Durga Prasad takes both male and female characters in his varied topic stories. Males are of varied characters but females are invariably secular; religious; sensitive; courageous; hard worker and tolerant;   and the lover of society and nature. Ghildiyal establishes Garhwali women as idealistic women. Ghildiyal develops his characters very expertly. Characters are of varied nature.

Background and atmosphere: Durga Prasad Ghildiyal paid less attention on geographical environment of Garhwal or cities. Ghildiyal paid more attention on the human behavior or human psychology.

Language and style: Ghildiyal became successful in developing characters and their characterization but could not become successful in language. He describes the thought of characters than explicit them automatically. The emotions are not of high intensity due to descriptive style.

Motive or moral: Each story by Ghildiyal is aimed for a moral.

 Durga Prasad does not believe in creating extra ordinary characters and he focuses more on common characters of Garhwal and Garhwalis.

  Durga Prasad Ghildiyal has special position in modern Garhwali fiction for common characters; developing characters; subject of Garhwal; psychological description and descriptive style of story.
