Check it yourself

Shukla Purnima begins at 17 Jul 2027, 6:49 PM and ends at 18 Jul 2027, 9:15 PM, all times IST. Those two instants are what you can check against your own panchang - the date follows from them.

The Bhadra window

Bhadra (the Vishti karana) runs from 17 Jul 2027, 6:49 PM to 18 Jul 2027, 8:01 AM. Bhadra is avoided for anything begun.

Why the date moves each year

A Hindu festival is fixed to a tithi in a lunar month, not to a calendar date. The lunar year is about eleven days shorter than the solar one, so festivals drift earlier until an extra month - adhika masa - is inserted roughly every third year and they jump back.
