Sometimes we may want to know what the field values inside the $row object in the Views Style output template. This could be done by.
$arr_rows = $view->style_plugin->rendered_fields; <?php foreach($arr_rows as $key=>$arr_row) : ?> <?php print $arr_row['field1']; ?> <?php print $arr_row['field2']; ?> <?php print $arr_row['field3']; ?> <?php endforeach; ?>
Done =)

Some days ago, i write a blog post about how to render a Drupal 7 block programmatically.
Drupal 7 – Render a Block programmatically
If the block is created by Views, there is a simpler solution provided by the Views API. And we can also pass the contextual filter argument too.
print views_embed_view(<view machine name>, <display id>, <arg 1>);
Done =)

Update at 2015-04-27: Another suggestion by Petu which could render the filter as a block programmatically.
Update at 2014-09-18: An simpler way to do that is to enable the Exposed form in block in the view settings and then render the block as suggested by plano.com.
The following piece of code render the Views Exposed Filter.
$view = views_get_view('<view name>');
$display_id = 'page';
$view->set_display($display_id);
$view->init_handlers();
$form_state = array(
'view' => $view,
'display' => $view->display_handler->display,
'exposed_form_plugin' => $view->display_handler->get_plugin('exposed_form'),
'method' => 'get',
'rerender' => TRUE,
'no_redirect' => TRUE,
);
$form = drupal_build_form('views_exposed_form', $form_state);
print drupal_render($form);
Done =)
