According to Chapter 22, the Chavadi was in a state of extreme disrepair and squalor. It was a very old and dilapidated building, originally constructed by Malik Ambar. The text describes it as being freely inhabited by lizards, house lizards, and poisonous scorpions. The environment was unsanitary, with garbage filling the back, seventeen knee-deep holes in the ground, and a pervasive dampness from both rain and the earth below. It was a chaotic place of wind and cold, so miserable that the author notes even a dog would not tolerate the troubles found there. These harsh conditions were particularly difficult for Amir, who suffered from rheumatism.
