The physical condition of the Chavadi was deplorable and highly uncomfortable. Chapter 22 describes it as a very old, dilapidated structure originally built by Malik Ambar. It was infested with lizards, house lizards, and poisonous scorpions. The text also mentions that lepers stayed there and the back part was filled with garbage. The ground was uneven, containing seventeen knee-deep holes, and the environment was characterized by dampness from below and exposure to rain from above. The overall atmosphere was one of chaos, wind, and cold, making it a miserable place that even a dog would likely avoid, presenting a significant trial for Amir.
