What were the conditions like in the Chavadi where Baba made Amir Shakkar stay?

The Chavadi was in a terrible state when Amir Shakkar was instructed to reside there. Chapter 22 describes it as a very old, dilapidated building where lizards, house lizards, and poisonous scorpions lived freely. The conditions were unsanitary, with lepers staying there and dogs eating leftovers. The back part was filled with garbage and seventeen knee-deep holes. The narrative paints a grim picture of 'rain from above, dampness from below,' and a 'total chaos of wind and cold,' making Amir miserable. It was considered a place of such hardship that even a dog would not endure it.
