Near-infrared photometry and narrow/broad-band imaging of the massive and luminous young stellar object IRAS 05361+3539 are presented. Imaging observations were made at Mt. Abu while the photometric data were taken from the 2MASS. From the color-color and color-magnitude diagrams, we identified several sources of faint Class II type and about six Class I type in the parent molecular cloud complex. The IRAS 05361+3539 itself was seen to be a Class I object and our images in Brγ and H2 lines show jets/outflows from this object. The jet/outflow matches with the axis of CO outflow detected earlier. The near-infrared and the IRAS far-infrared flux distribution suggests a possible accretion disk with dust temperatures between 80 to 800K and extent of several tens to hundreds of AU. A possible FU Orionis type of source was detected in the cluster.
