Hi Smaran,

You can install django-debug-toolbar. That will tell you which templates
are used to render a given page. You'll also see the whole template
inheritance hierarchy. Knowing the URL and those two bits of
information, you'll be able to mentally trace a request as it's handled
by urls.py, dispatched to a view function, which in turn feeds a
template. You can work forward from the URL or backward from the template.
