We present the results of a deep near-infrared survey of a 36x36arcmin^2^ region centred on the giant elliptical radio galaxy PKS 1343-601, suggested to be the core of an unknown rich cluster located at the low Galactic latitude of b=1.73{deg} in the Great Attractor (GA) region. 19 obvious galaxies and 38 galaxy candidates have been detected; only three of them were previously identified as a galaxy.
