Can you describe the living conditions Amir Shakkar had to endure in the Chavadi?

Amir Shakkar was made to stay in the Chavadi, which was in a truly terrible state. As described in Chapter 22, the building was old, dilapidated, and occupied by lizards and poisonous scorpions. It was also a place where lepers stayed, and it was filled with garbage and seventeen knee-deep holes. The environment was extremely unhealthy, with constant dampness from below and rain from above, coupled with wind and cold. These conditions were particularly difficult for Amir because he was suffering from rheumatism, which would have been severely aggravated by the damp and cold.
