Can you explain with diagrams please? I can't understand in which direction forces are balanced.

$${m}\left({v}\:\mathrm{cos}\:\theta\right)^{\mathrm{2}} /{r}={mg} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\theta=\mathrm{cos}^{−\mathrm{1}} \sqrt{\frac{{gr}}{{v}^{\mathrm{2}} }} \\ $$

But why the particle makes a circular turn in the direction of horizontal component of velocity?

Thank you very much Sir! I got the answer.
