I am having a website, say www.mywebsite.com, to which I want to add my ASP.NET MVC application which could be accessible from the link www.mywebsite.com/MyApplication. The problem begins when the action method of a controller is called which redirects to mywebsite.com/Home/MyAction which gives a 404. The route mapping done currently is as follows:

routes.MapHttpRoute(
            name: "API Default",
            routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{action}"
        );

Please advice me on what I should be follow regarding the routing.

Your current route states that it should only match routes that start with api. Furthermore you're only mapping an HttpRoute (which is for ASP.NET MVC Web API)

Instead you should add a route like this:

routes.MapRoute(
                "Default",                                       // Route name
                "{controller}/{action}",                         // URL with parameters
                new { controller = "Home", action = "MyAction"}  // Parameter defaults
            );
