In this paper, we report the results of the detailed temporal and spectral studies of the BeXRB J21347+4737 based on the data from the NuSTAR and \textit{SWIFT/XRT} in a wide energy range of 0.5-50 keV. Coherent pulsation with a period of 322.738±0.018 s was found in the light curve, implying, the source pulsation has spun down by 0.341 s yr−1 when compared with the coherent pulsation estimated from XMM Newton more than 7 years ago. The pulse profile of the source demonstrates energy dependence and has evolved with time. The pulse fraction of the source observed by NuSTAR initially decreases with energy upto ∼15 keV, followed by a non-monotonic increasing trend above 15 keV. The source spectrum can be well approximated by an absorbed power-law model with modification by an exponential cutoff at high energies. The absorbed flux of the source is 4×10−11ergcm−2s−1 and its corresponding luminosity is 3.5×1035ergs−1. The study of pulse-phase resolved spectroscopy shows a strong variation of spectral parameters on the phase. No additional emission or absorption features in the form of Fe line or Cyclotron lines were observed both in the phase-averaged and phase-resolved spectra of IGR J21347+4737.
