Vishrantwadi used to be a resting place for the thousands of Varkaris who made the annual pilgrimage from Alandi to Pandharpur in South Maharashtra by foot. Vishrant in Marathi means "rest", "vadi" means "hamlet" or "town", and thus the name 'Vishrantwadi'. Even today the annual Jñāneśvar pilgrimage procession passes through Vishrantwadi.
