Parnasree Pally

Parnasree Pally is an upscale locality of Behala in southern Kolkata, India. It was included in the Kolkata Municipal Corporation in 1985. Translated to English the name means "beauty of the leaves". While it has lost most of its greenery owing to rapid real estate development, it remains one of the greener and cleaner localities of Kolkata. It was earlier known as Halderbagan. The name Parnasree was coined by Late Asoke Ratan Mazumder when he became the member of the Co Operative Society formed for the rehabilitation of Refugees during Partition of India in 1947.
