I want to develop a web application using pure python and django. Can I accomplish with out using angularJS or any Javascript? I know to use angular tags in django. But will this be necessary for a perfect running application?

Yes you can. Libraries such as React and Angular are just JavaScript code which runs in the browser but it's main purpose, especially for react, is to be the view which in Django speak, is the template. Django has a template engine included for you and very powerful sites have been written without React, Angular, Vue etc... using just simple Python Django.
I would say, unless you have a specific need to use one of those libraries than don't use them. They won't save time or maintenance. This is definitely anecdote, but from my personal experience, we don't need Angular or React for 90% of the websites out there. The 10% that do need it... it's a life saver.
