How to create multiple directory in django template folder?

Question

I want to change php website into django. In php, we have controller and view folder. Inside view, I have many folder in view.

View
  --- Users
        --- user1.ctp
        --- user2.ctp
  --- Layouts
        --- layout1.ctp
        --- layout2.ctp

Now I am using django this is how my directory looks

MyProject
     --- myapp
           --- views.py
           --- urls.py
           --- migrations
                  --- __pycache__
           --- static
                 --- myapp
                       --- mycss.css
           --- templates
                 --- myapp
                      --- Users
                            --- user1.html
                            --- user2.html
                      --- Layouts
                            --- layout1.html
                            --- layout2.html
     --- MyProject
     

Whenever I am putting user1.html inside /templates/myapp, I am able to render but I want to put Users related file in Users folder. I am getting

TemplateDoesNotExist at /
myapp/Layouts/layout1.html

urls.py (Inside myapp)

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path
from django.urls.conf import include
from . import views,login

urlpatterns = [
    path("",views.index),
]

urls.py (Inside MyProject)

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('',include('myapp.urls')),
]

view.py

    return render(request,'myapp/Layouts/layout1.html')

You have to configure your additional templates in settings.py like this:

BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))
TEMP_DIR = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates')
ADDITIONAL_TEMPLATE = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'path/to/template')
# add as many as you required

Use your template dirs as following:

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        # add your all template dirs here
        'DIRS': [TEMP_DIR, ADDITIONAL_TEMPLATE, ... ...],
        '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',
                # add your context processor here
            ],
        },
    },
]
