Girdhar is known for his poetic epic ''Ramayana'' (1837) which is popular in [[Gujarat]]. He derived the story from ''[[Ramayana]]'' of [[Tulsidas]] and several other Puranic texts. His version is lucid and musical as it is in simple language and uses traditional [[metre]]s and melodies. His poetry ''Radha Virahna Barmas'' is influenced by the poetry of [[Vaishnavism]]. His ''Tulsi Vivah'' narrates the wedding of [[Krishna]] and Tulsi in 26 lyrics. It resemble the ''Kadva'' (cantos) style of medieval Gujarati poetry. He also wrote lyrics on Gopi and Krishna relations and wrote ''Ashwamedha'' and ''Rajsuyayajna''. He based a large number of his poems on ''Dasamskandha'' of ''[[Bhagavata]]''.<ref name="Datta1988"/><br />
