The source material in Chapter 22 paints a very grim picture of the Chavadi. It was an old and dilapidated structure built by Malik Ambar. It was far from a comfortable dwelling; the text states that lizards, house lizards, and poisonous scorpions lived there freely. Furthermore, lepers used the space, and dogs would eat leftovers within it. The back part was filled with garbage and contained seventeen knee-deep holes. The environment was harsh, with constant dampness from the ground, exposure to rain from above, and a general chaos of wind and cold, making it a miserable place for anyone, let alone someone suffering from rheumatism.
Could you describe in detail the state of the Chavadi where Baba made Amir Shakkar stay for nine months?
