  Recently a scheme has been proposed for detection of the structured light by
measuring the transmission of a vortex beam through a cloud of cold rubidium
atoms with energy levels of the $\Lambda$-type configuration {[}N. Radwell et
al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 114, 123603 (2015){]}. This enables observation of
regions of spatially dependent electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT).
Here we suggest another scenario for detection of the structured light by
measuring the absorption profile of a weak nonvortex probe beam in a highly
resonant five-level combined tripod and $\Lambda$ (CTL) atom-light coupling
setup. We demonstrate that due to the closed-loop structure of CTL scheme, the
absorption of the probe beam depends on the azimuthal angle and orbital angular
momentum (OAM) of the control vortex beams. This feature is missing in simple
$\Lambda$ or tripod schemes, as there is no loop in such atom-light couplings.
One can identify different regions of spatially structured transparency through
measuring the absorption of probe field under different configurations of
structured control light.
