Explain the statement - the sun was setting and had lit her room and verandah with a blaze of golden light.

Dear Student, 

Literally, it means that it was dawn and the light of the setting sun was lighting the room. It means there is no other source of artificial light in the room.

For the figurative meaning, we request you to mention the text, author or chapter name along with your question so that we can revert to you with a meaningful solution. Sorry for the inconvenience caused. We look forward to hearing from you again and helping you to the best of our abilities.

Regards,
