How do I redirect from a view to a root URL in Django?

I'm trying to add a link to my django site that redirects from the catalog1 view to the catalog2 page. So basically, I want to go from .../catalog1 to .../catalog2/other-page.

All the other answers that I've seen require redirecting to http://127.0.0.1:8000/ first, and then redirecting to catalog2, but I've set up the site so that http://127.0.0.1:8000/ automatically redirects to catalog1, so this isn't working.

Assume, a situation , your other-page is about,you have about button in your path http://127.0.0.1:8000/catalog1

catalog1.html

<a href="{% url 'about' %}">about </a>

urls.py

urlpatterns =[
path('catalog2/about/',views.about,name='about')
]

views.py

def about(req):
    return render(req,'appname/anyfile.html')

So, by clicking on a button about, it will redirect it to that view which has name='about' in urls.py irrespective of any route.

Then you are redirected to http://127.0.0.1:8000/catelog2/about/ from http://127.0.0.1/8000/catalog1.
