Abstract. We present the CCD Cousins R band photometric
observations of
the afterglow of GRB 041006. The multiband afterglow evolution is
modelled
using an underlying `hard' electron energy spectrum with a p1
~ 1.3. The
burst
appears to be of very low energy (E ~ 1048 ergs)
concerned to a narrow
cone of
opening angle theta ~ 2.3o The associated supernova is compared with
SN1998bw
and is found to be brighter..
