Homas could be classified into two categories.

Vaidik Homas

Tantrik Homas.

Some of the Vaidik Homas are

Ayush Homa

Navagraha Homa

Nakshatra Homa

Tila Homa

Mritunjaya Homa

Sri Suktha Homa

Sudharshana Homa

The Tantrik Homas are

Chandi Homa

Dakshina Kali Homa

Dasa Maha Vidya Homas

But this distinction is not always defined. Homas like Ganapathy Homa, Sudharsana Homa and Mrintunjaya Homa are performed both in the Vaidika and Tantrika methods.

Many Gurus believe that this differentiation is not correct and the present day Homas are basically Vaidik with Tantrik overtones. This is based on the belief that Tantras are extensions of the Karma kanda of the Vedas.
