History

[edit]

The first person who came and settled here was late Abdul Ahad Mir S/O late Abdul Habib Mir [around 1800 AD] whose ancestors belong to Kanihama. Now the village has 45-50 households. The only link road which joins the village to other part of the district is through Archanderhama.

Before the new generations, the village is said to have been inhabited by people during ancient times, as different kinds of remains have been excavated while digging in farms, such as vessels made of terracotta. It is said that the people might have left the place because the area is prone to floods or they might have been annihilated by some devastating havoc.

The village is named after a Sufi Saint Suder Shah who is buried here in a local graveyard. Purn is a Kashmiri word which means dwelling place and thus Purni Suder Shah means dwelling place of Sufi saint Suder Shah.
