We present for the first time a study of peculiar giant radio galaxy (GRG)J223301+131502 using deep multi-frequency radio observations from GMRT (323,612, and 1300 MHz) and LOFAR (144 MHz) along with optical spectroscopicobservations with the WHT~4.2m optical telescope. Our observations have firmlyestablished its redshift of 0.09956 and unveiled its exceptional jet structureextending more than $\sim$ 200 kpc leading to a peculiar kink structure of$\sim$ 100 kpc. We measure the overall size of this GRG to be $\sim$ 1.83 Mpc;it exhibits lobes without any prominent hotspots and closely resembles abarbell. Our deep low-frequency radio maps clearly reveal the steep-spectrumdiffuse emission from the lobes of the GRG. The magnetic field strength of$\sim$ 5 $\mu$G and spectral ages between about 110 to 200 mega years for theradio lobes were estimated using radio data from LOFAR 144 MHz observations andGMRT 323 and 612 MHz observations. We discuss the possible causes leading tothe formation of the observed kink feature for the GRG, which includesprecession of the jet axis, development of instabilities and magneticreconnection. Despite its enormous size, the Barbell GRG is found to beresiding in a low-mass (M$_{200} \sim 10^{14}$ $\rm M_{\odot}$) galaxy cluster.This GRG with two-sided large-scale jets with a kink and diffuse outer lobesresiding in a cluster environment provides an opportunity to explore thestructure and growth of GRGs in different environments.
