python - Iterate through a static image folder in django

Question

I am trying to get all image link present in a folder. Currently, I am assigning the link manually. But, I want my django to get all images from a specific folder irrespective of their names.

<li>
   <a href="{% static "styles/jamia/1.jpg" %}"  rel="prettyPhoto[gallery1]"><img src="{% static "styles/jamia/1.jpg" %}"></a>
</li> 

<li>
  <a href="{% static "styles/jamia/2.jpg" %}"  rel="prettyPhoto[gallery1]"><img src="{% static "styles/jamia/2.jpg" %}"></a>
</li>

I am looking for something like:

{% for file in {% static "styles/jamia/" %}  %}
    <img src="{{file}}" alt="">
{% endfor %}

All images are present in jamia folder.

This isn't something Django has built in. But Django is just Python, and you can use normal Python file functions to get your list in the view:

files = os.listdir(os.path.join(settings.STATIC_ROOT, "styles/jamia"))
