Django Architecture: MVT (Model-View-Template)

Django follows the MVT pattern, similar to MVC:

Component	Role
Model	Handles database interactions (data storage & retrieval).
View	Processes requests, interacts with models, and returns responses.
Template	Manages presentation (HTML, CSS, etc.).

📌 In Django, the View acts as the Controller in MVC.
