contents We have analyzed the prompt and afterglow characteristics of the intermediate luminosity burst ``GRB 210210A". Our prompt emission analysis indicates that GRB 210210A is among the softest long GRBs detected by the Swift-BAT. The time-integrated prompt emission spectrum of GRB 210210A is aptly described by a power law function with an exponential cutoff. The spectral peak energy (E$_{p,z}$) in rest-frame and the E$_{\rm γ, iso}$ for this GRB marginally satisfy the 2$σ$ Amati correlation, a common feature observed in low/intermediate luminosity GRBs. Notably, an early bump is observed in the Swift-XRT light curve (a rare feature); the optical afterglow light curve, on the other hand, appears to follow a power law decay. However, due to the lack of sufficient early optical observations, we cannot completely rule out the possibility of an early bump in the optical light curve. For the bump observed in the early X-ray light curve, we calculated parameters such as peak time, rise time, decay time, and bulk Lorentz factor ($Γ_{0}$ $\sim$ 156), which perfectly satisfy the correlation between the parameters of the onset of the afterglow in GRBs. Both the optical and X-ray (including our observations) light curves exhibit a chromatic break in the late afterglow. Based on the prompt and afterglow parameters, we confirm that the intermediate luminosity GRB 210210A favors a collapsar scenario and is possibly powered by a magnetar.
