What is the best location to put templates in django project?

DJANGO 1.11

add templates folder where the manage.py exist,which is your base directory. change the DIRS for TEMPLATES as following in your settings.py

BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))

TEMPLATES = [
{
    'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
    'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates')],
    'APP_DIRS': True,
    'OPTIONS': {
        'context_processors': [
            'django.template.context_processors.debug',
            'django.template.context_processors.request',
            'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
            'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
        ],
    },
},

]

Now to use the template by using the code ,

def home(request):
    return render(request,"index.html",{})

in views.py. this works completely fine for django 1.11

Previous solution didn't work in my case. I used:

TEMPLATE_DIRS = [ os.path.join(os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__)),"../myapp/templates") ]
