How To fix?

To provide a definite answer, we need the tree structure of your Django project.

Depending upon your TEMPLATES settings, your template would generally belong in either /project_home/home/tempates/home/index.html or it might be in /project_home/templates/home/index.html.

The full error in the browser shows you the directories being searched, that’ll show you where you’re currently configured to look for template files.
