Some gurdwaras in the UK are going against their religion by serving meat and alcohol on their premises, according to an association of Sikh followers.
The UK Sangat, an association of Sikh followers, has started a national campaign to stop what it says is the violation of the basic principles of Sikhism.
Some Sikhs have protested, stopping one gurdwara in Edinburgh and one in Essex from going against the teachings.
UK Sangat said there were at least another 15 temples in Britain flouting the rules, which they planned to approach.
The Sikh religion forbids the use of alcohol and other intoxicants.
Sikhs are also not allowed eat meat - the principle is to keep the body pure.
All gurdwaras are supposed to follow the Sikh code, known as the Akal Takht Sandesh, which comes from the highest Sikh authority in India.
