It looks like you have not created a view for this function, so the generic.html view is being used instead. When you return multiple variables, the generic view displays the name of each variable. Since you are returning locals(), I assume you must have defined other variables in the index() function in addition to grid -- if grid were the only variable defined, the generic view would not show the "grid:" label.
As an alternative, you can either create a custom view (recommended), or just return the grid variable (i.e., return dict(grid=grid)).
