I heard Baba made someone stay in a terrible place to cure them. What were the conditions of the Chavadi like when Amir Shakkar stayed there?

Chapter 22 provides a vivid and grim description of the Chavadi where Amir Shakkar was instructed to stay. The building was ancient, old, and dilapidated, a home to lizards, house lizards, and poisonous scorpions. The text mentions that lepers also stayed there, and dogs would eat leftovers on the premises. The back was filled with garbage and seventeen knee-deep holes. The conditions were so wretched that the author notes even a dog would not endure the troubles. Amir had to contend with rain from above, dampness from below, uneven ground, and a constant chaos of wind and cold, which must have been especially difficult for someone suffering from rheumatism.
