Parnasree Pally is an upscale residential area located in Behala, a locality in southern Kolkata (formerly Calcutta), India. It was incorporated into the Kolkata Municipal Corporation in 1985. The name "Parnasree" translates to "beauty of the leaves" in English. Previously known as Halderbagan, it is believed that the Halders were associated with the Sabarna Roy Chowdhury family. The name "Parnasree" was coined by the late Asoke Ratan Mazumder when he became a member of the cooperative society established for the rehabilitation of refugees during the Partition of India in 1947.
