First you need to keep this files in static folder Keep these files out of templates like

project_main_folder/static/img/abc.jpg

The recommended way is to use static tag provided by django.

{% static  "abc.jpg" %}

Without static tag you can do this like

 <img src="host:port/static/img/abc.jpg" />

or

<img src="/static/img/abc.jpg" />

This is not recommend.

what are changes required in settings.py for this to work. I haven't created static folder too. I am not sure how to handle this. – Chirag Jain Dec 23 '17 at 12:00
