The dark stripes mimic the shadows cast by plants, breaking up the outline of the tiger and making it harder to see among the foliage. This helps the tiger sneak up on prey - a vital trait since they are solitary ambush hunters. The orange color is no problem because most prey have poor color vision - the tiger looks grey and black to them.

It is for camoflague. The lines will look like shadows caused by long grass, helping it blend into its surroundings and ambush prey.
