They're actually both considered your project. One just holds everything, and the other has global settings. Here is the official explanation:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/releases/1.4/#updated-default-project-layout-and-manage-py

Relevant text:

Django 1.4 ships with an updated default project layout and manage.py file for the startproject management command. 

These fix some issues with the previous manage.py handling of Python import paths that caused double imports, trouble 

moving from development to deployment, and other difficult-to-debug path issues.
