Hyperlink redirect is not working in Django

I have the below code as part of my project. But instead of redirecting to the HTML page (contact.html), it is redirecting back to the home page or index.html.

main_app/urls.py:

path("", home_views.index, name='home_page'),
path("contact", home_views.contact, name='contact'),

main_app/home_views.py:

def index(request):
    return render(request, 'Varsity/index.html')
def contact(request):
    return render(request, 'Varsity/contact.html')

Varsity/index.html:

<li><a href="{% url 'contact' %}">Contact</a></li>

Terminal

[05/Sep/2022 14:34:43] "GET /contact HTTP/1.1" 302 0
