How would I display image file in django template. I have already set
MEDIA_ROOT and MEDIA_URL.

You mean image as in static image or from Image model?
If static image, then this is the process:
- lets say image is in ProjectNameFolder/static/images/img1.jpeg
- Have this in your settings.py
import os.path
BASE_PATH = os.path.dirname(__file__)
SITE_ROOT = BASE_PATH
STATIC_DOC_ROOT = BASE_PATH+'/static'
-  In your urls.py:

if settings.DEBUG:
    urlpatterns += patterns('',
        (r'^static/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve', {'document_root': settings.STATIC_DOC_ROOT}),
    )

- in your template <img src="/static/images/img1.jpeg"/>

This should work. Note that this serves the static content from the django dev server and should be used purely in your dev env.
