Because that file doesn't exist. If it did exist, you wouldn't get that error. Notice it's not looking inside the images directory. You should put your favicon in the root anyway.

Your link points to a file inside the images directory.

My favicon.ico was in image directory and link was pointing to the directory too... so why did it look for favicon.ico in the main directory????

All browsers do by default, which is why it makes sense to put it there. You can *also* add a link tag to point to it, but you don't need it, browsers will look for it automatically at the root.
