Q:

kendo Datepicker: Prevent closing picker when clicking a date

When I change the date in the picker then the picker is getting hidden, How can skip this behavior in kendo ui datePicker

A:

You can replace the change method for the date picker's DateView so that it doesn't close the popup:
var datePicker = $("#sampleDate").kendoDatePicker({}).getKendoDatePicker();

datePicker.dateView.options.change = function () {
    datePicker._change(this.value());
};

(demo)
