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 $p_1 \sim 1.3$. The burst appears to be of very low energy ($E \sim 10^{48}$ ergs) confined to a narrow cone of opening angle $\theta \sim 2.3^{\circ}$. The associated supernova is compared with SN1998bw and is found to be brighter.
