The Chavadi was in a state of extreme disrepair and was a very difficult place to live. Chapter 22 provides a vivid description of its squalor. The building, originally built by Malik Ambar, was old and dilapidated. It was home to lizards and poisonous scorpions, and lepers also took shelter there. The text mentions that the back part was filled with garbage and there were seventeen knee-deep holes in the ground. The environment was a 'total chaos of wind and cold,' with constant dampness from below and rain leaking from above, making it an incredibly miserable place for anyone, let alone someone suffering from rheumatism.
Could you describe the living conditions of the Chavadi where Amir Shakkar was ordered to stay?
