The present communication deals with the behavioural pattern showing relationship of Rhesus mother with their infants. The study was conducted for a period of one year on a troop consisting of 152 individuals inhabiting the Bahu Fort area which is situated on a hillock at an altitude of 325m on the bank of River Tawi, Jammu, J&K state. The investigation reveals that the adult rhesus mother showed various motherly activities both positive (such as embrace, grooming, eye contact, approaching, looking at, extending arm and dorsal and ventral carrying) as well as negative (i.e. embrace, avoidance, punish and reject towards the infant). In addition an effort was also made to study the schedule of growth related behavioural pattern of rhesus infant.
