What were the living conditions like in the Chavadi where Baba instructed Amir Shakkar to stay?

The Chavadi where Amir Shakkar was told to stay was in a deplorable state. According to Chapter 22, the building was very old and dilapidated, having been built by Malik Ambar. It was infested with lizards, house lizards, and poisonous scorpions. The text also mentions that lepers stayed there, dogs would eat leftovers, and the back part was filled with garbage and seventeen knee-deep holes. The environment was described as a 'pilgrimage of a lifetime' in a sarcastic sense, with constant dampness from below, rain from above, uneven ground, and a chaotic mix of wind and cold, which was especially difficult for Amir, who suffered from rheumatism.
